A lush, delicious and "serious" wine but in a fun package! The nose is fruit driven with fresh plum, bing cherry, spicy peppercorn and zinberry. The mouthfeel is soft with a hint of milk chocolate, sweet oak, and a long vanilla finish. The deep color and firm structure are enhanced by the addition of the Petite Sirah and the firm tannins softened by moderate oak. Enjoy this POIZIN with caution; it is The Wine to Die for!
"Makes a bold and stylish statement but retains a sense of structure and finesse. Aromas of kirsch and bitter chocolate lead to concentrated and ripe blackberry, smoky sage and pepper flavors. Tannins grip the finish. Best after 2017. 650 cases made."

Kenya: Abel Kirui
Press Association
Kenya's Abel Kirui wins the men's marathon at the 2011 World Championships.
Born: 04/06/1982
Place of birth: Nandi, Kenya
Event: Athletics
Previous Olympics: 0
Previous medals: 0
Kenya's Rift Valley has produced some of the world's best long-distance runners.
In villages across the region, groups of aspiring Olympians train together on the hillsides and dirt roads. Running is a national obsession so the competition is fierce, and scores of Kenyan athletes have spent their childhood dreaming of becoming the nation's next sporting hero.
Not so Abel Kirui. While the future marathon runner had a passion for athletics at school, he never trained seriously during his youth. He had his sights set on a career in the police instead.
In 2001, he applied to join the Administration Police (AP), a security unit that belongs to the Kenyan government. And such was Kirui's status that just getting a steady job was seen as an achievement, never mind becoming a two-time world champion.
"While I was in the queue during recruitment, I prayed to God to help me become the first among my classmates to secure formal employment," Kirui has said.
After passing the aptitude test, Kirui beat a huge field in a recruitment race to earn a place with the AP. Despite not training seriously, he had clearly developed a level of fitness and ability as he had run plenty at school and while herding his family's goats, as is the custom for young boys in the Nandi community.
Sometimes he woke at 2am to carry out household chores before going to school, so with such an upbringing, he had little trouble during his training with the AP.
Up to that point, athletics had been a means to an end for Kirui. It was not until he had achieved his aim of joining the AP that he contemplated running competitively.
He feared asking his superiors for permission to engage in full-time athletics training. Had he caught them on a bad day, his Olympic dream could have been over before it had even begun. Thankfully he didn't.
Kirui joined the ranks of Olympic hopefuls training on his doorstep and he not only had the dedication to catch them up but to emerge from the pack.
In 2006, he entered the Berlin marathon as a pacemaker and finished ninth. He then finished second behind close friend Haile Gebrselassie the following year to establish himself as a major contender on the world stage.
Faith, as well as fate, has been an important factor in Kirui's journey, as besides praying to God, he also asked for his grandmother's blessing before applying for the AP, before becoming an athlete and before his first World Championships win in 2009.
And how his prayers have been answered. Career progression has mirrored his sporting success as, after winning in Berlin in 2009, he was promoted from constable to sergeant.
Then, after defending his world title in Daegu last year, he was promoted to chief inspector.
It remains to be seen what lies in store for the Rift Valley's latest star when he returns from London 2012.

A new Youtube video shows a pig in the face of danger allegedly heading to the slaughterhouse.
The 27 second clip shows the pig in South Africa clinging on to hopes of getting out of a truck. That's when it jumps out of the moving vehicle at high speed and rolls to the ground.
It is not clear what happened to the animal after its death-defying stunt.
The motorists who filmed the stunt, are heard speaking in Spanish as the camera continues to roll.
The video has been seen more than 150,000 times since it was uploaded on Youtube.

2012 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor
In 2012, Botswana made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The Ministry of Labor and Home Affairs (MOLHA) began implementing a sustainability plan in which labor inspectors work with local leaders and Village Development Committees to identify and refer cases of child labor to social workers. In addition, some communities have created Child Labor Committees to support these efforts. The Government also funded an NGO to remove children from the worst forms of child labor and has focused on training educators and social workers to explain the importance of education to parents, and to help them overcome issues preventing children from attending school. However, gaps in the legal framework remain, as the Labor Code does not define hazardous or light work, and a list of hazardous occupations prohibited to children has not been established. There is also no law establishing an age through which education is compulsory. Children in Botswana continue to engage in the worst forms of child labor in livestock herding in rural areas and domestic service in urban centers.

Additional Features:
- Custom Shaped EVA Handles
- Multi-purpose hook keeper
- Etched Technique Specific Badge Butt Cap
- Limited Lifetime Over-the-Counter Replacement Warranty
Customer Feedback
Comments: The tip is supposed to be soft for topwaters. The reason being that it compensates for quick reactions to strikes, setting the hook a split second later. These rods are amazing. I use a 7' 5" MH for my frogs. I throw the Live Target 65's on it just fine, casting it a mile and getting great hooksets at any distance. My hookup ratio on the frog is around 95% with this rod. Shimano cannot be beat.
From: Jason: Hampton, VA
Comments: Bought the 6'8 MH Topwater rod and I feel the tip is faaaar too soft for topwaters. The rods rated up to 1oz, but with a 5/8 oz lure tied on the tip was sagging. I prefer to use big walkers like Spooks and the such and the rod is just too soft to walk the dog with a heavier lure. After about 8 casts with the rod I'm trying to sell it.

Social Media is a "Super-Cycle" Built for Two – or Two Billion
Nick is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
This week Global X Funds celebrates the one year anniversary of their Global X Social Media Index ETF (NASDAQ: SOCL). Since its inception, a number of major social media stocks have IPO'd and the fund has continued to provide exposure not only to US properties, but also recognizes the international and niche dimensions of the recent phenomenon – non-US companies currently comprise over half the ETF's holdings (half of which are China-based). Global X CEO Bruno del Ama discusses the reasoning behind the fund and considers trends and projections based on previous revolutions in global business and how the business of US social media is a bit different from the rest of the world.
Slepko: Global X offers ETFs that range from Colombia to master limited partnerships (MLPs) to social media – how do all these fit together?
del Ama: Global X focuses on what parts of the global markets are going to do better than the capital markets as a whole over the next decade. One source of growth is in international markets. There's always going to be a market in some part of the world that is going to grow faster than others. That's changing too as the world becomes more interconnected and markets become more correlated, but you always have local factors at play. Our [FTSE Colombia 20 ETF (NYSEMKT: GXG)] is one such fund that provides access to a rapidly growing market that is not highly correlated with the US market.
The other sources of growth are what we refer to as "super-cycles." A historic example of a super-cycle was the personal computer. At one time, the invention of computers was complete sci-fi, but the personal computer has dramatically changed the way we operate over a thirty-year period. Some companies such as Microsoft (MSFT) and Intel (INTC) generated massive returns as part of that cycle if you invested early enough.
Some of these economic drivers are local and some are global. It's hard to find significant growth in the US these days, but one local super-cycle in America currently is the development of domestic energy in the US through new technologies. This will drive returns for our MLP ETF (MLPA), which focuses on energy infrastructure, and more so for our upcoming Junior MLP ETF (MLPJ), which will be more focused on exploration and production companies at the core of this domestic energy renaissance.
Social media is an example of a global super-cycle. When you think about social media companies, there are two sources of growth. First, building the networks and connecting people. The second is figuring out what to do with these networks – the monetizing of social media.
Slepko: How do you respond to people that argue social media is just a fad whose time is coming to an end?
del Ama: Investors are asking a number of questions about social media companies, all of which are legitimate. Are valuations reasonable? Can these companies continue growing so rapidly? And can they figure out a way to transition their networks effectively to the increasingly important mobile platform?
Few people, however, question two important facts. First, that these companies have been very successful at building their networks in their respective niches. Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) reaching 1 billion "friends" and LinkedIn (LNKD) connecting 175 million "professionals"; Tencent (SEHK:700)(NASDAQOTH:TCEHY) gathering 650 million users in China, where Facebook cannot operate; or DeNA (TYO:2432) acquiring 40 million users and online gamers in Japan. So these companies have been hugely successful at building their networks, and they are just scratching the surface of their second phase - monetizing their networks - while they continue to aggressively build the networks and expand internationally. Even then, most of these companies are already very profitable.
At Global X, we tend to think that skepticism about the industry not only underestimates the growth that exists, but also reflects a lack of understanding about how defensible these business models are.
Slepko: Aren't valuations still a bit wacky?
del Ama: There's no question there have been some problems with valuations during this tremendous growth, but that is quite frankly a very US-specific issue. When you look at the social media space globally, the valuations are quite reasonable. DeNA in Japan, for example, is trading at an eight-times earnings multiple. They have over forty million users, a high-penetration rate, their monetizing is pretty developed (mostly around advertising and social gaming models), and it is still a fast growing company. In China, Netease (NASDAQ: NTES), for example, is growing quickly in terms of penetration and monetization. They are trading at about ten-times earnings. So the valuation issue is a very specific-US issue.

8 Insulting Ways People Act "Irish" on St. Patrick's Day
No one wants to be Irish on Economy Day or Finding A Job Day. But come Drinking Day suddenly everyone's begorring their leprechauns and generally proving they're as Irish as a really good point guard. So here's your guide to being an awesomely terrible fake-Irish person on St. Patrick's Day.
Due in large part to the fact that March 17th is one of the few days that people wish they were pale gingers, I personally love St. Patty's day.
So naturally, I had to post an angry Irish rant from a guy who I'm imagining looks something like this:
No wonder he's so bitter right?
Anyway, here are the 8 things he hates to see people do on St. Patrick's Day:
8.) Wear a Kiss Me I'm Irish T-Shirt
7.) Call it St. Patty's (whoops)
6.) Wear a Flag Cape
5.) Try To Use a Cupla Focail
4.) Thank St. Patrick for Anything
3.) Sing Rebel Songs and Hate the English
2.) Drink Far Too Much
1.) Drink Green Beer
Obviously, this guy doesn't like fun. Green Beer is by FAR my favorite part. And no, I don't think anyone really believes the Irish created this.
Here's his full article on CRACKED
I think he's on crack.
How will you be spending St. Patrick's Day? And where can I find some fekkin' green beer?

Having an issue with ImageGallery module - when clicking Create ImageGalleryPage, nothing just happends. If i refresh page, Unpublished and unsaved "NewImageGalleryPage" appears, but i can't save it - receiving "Error Saving Content" message.
I'm stuck, trying to figure out, how it happens. Just installed SS 2.4.2., DOM Uploadufy and Image Gallery modules, plus Blog module. Sometimes this bug appears, sometimes not. Any idea, what should i check first?

so, both of my tests were done on subdomains, just tested a new install on a TLD and it works.
could this be an issue with subdomain permissions UC?
Re: ImageGalleryPage - Error Saving Content
29 September 2010 at 5:07am
nope, ignore that.
just tested on another domain, as a subdomain, with 2.4.2 and it worked!
confused now....
so far it only seems to fail on my clickheredigital.co.uk domain. (subdomains of it)
Re: ImageGalleryPage - Error Saving Content
29 September 2010 at 5:22am
tested new SS install on dev.clickheredigital.co.uk - worked fine with image_gallery
deleted the DB and uploaded DB that ive been having problems with and it failed. so guess that isolates the problem to the DB...

I'm getting this error too - using SS 2.3.8 and the latest 2.3 Branch ImageGallery, DOM and SWFUpload.
In an attempt to repair this - I believed in a file permission problem - I tested around with the assets and image-gallery folder permissions and even renamed the image-gallery folder. Now I can't see the existing published galleries anymore and in the CMS all gallery images are 'grey symbols'! Does someone know how to fix this?

Purchase Reason
I bought this as a 30" x 40" canvas to fill the wall above the table in my eat-in kitchen. It looks amazing with our mostly black, white, and gray decor. It's a great quality and impact, especially for the price.

A prosecutor and a defense attorney spun opposing tales on Wednesday to a federal court jury that began hearing the trial of ex-con Wayne Ogden, who is accused of orchestrating a Ponzi scheme involving a land deal in Colorado.
Assistant U.S. District Attorney Mark Hirata told the jury that Ogden got back into real estate investment not long after he got out of prison on a 1997 Weber County conviction of theft by deception and money laundering.
Ogden of Koosharem in Sevier County wanted to "get back in the real estate game" after his 2000 release despite parole restrictions, so he used a handful of inexperienced people in their 20s to act as a front in two companies that Ogden actually controlled, Hirata said.
"Wayne Ogden was the source of all things deceptive," Hirata told the jury of nine women and five men, including two alternates. "The scheme you are about to hear begins and ends with him."
Ogden, 48, was indicted in 2007 by a federal grand jury on charges of mail and wire fraud, and aiding and abetting a crime, in what Hirata said was a Ponzi scheme in which some of the money went to pay off initial investors.
When the scheme began to collapse, Ogden left a note at one of the businesses saying "the jig is up" and then went to the FBI and admitted criminal conduct, the lead prosecutor said, but Ogden blamed the scheme on others, contending that his name was not on checks and other documents.
In contrast, Ogden's attorney, Mary Corporon, told the jury that visit to the FBI was just part of Ogden's effort to cooperate with state and federal authorities to expose connections between real estate fraud and the illegal drug trade.
Corporon said Ogden began cooperating with authorities while in prison and became a confidential informant for the Drug Enforcement Agency, and that he also worked with the state Division of Securities. He went to the FBI to try to expose a scheme before it collapsed, she said.
But, said Corporon, "the government decided to prosecute only Wayne Reed Ogden."
Ogden faces a second trial in federal court in April for allegedly running another Ponzi scheme with brother Terry using a St. George company called Paradigm Acceptance LLC.
The company allegedly told investors it made money by paying off the debt of distressed homeowners and then helping them renegotiate a mortgage at a lower rate. But some of the $29 million in investor funds went to pay other investors, the July 2011 indictment alleges.

-- Alan Mozes
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 4 (HealthDay News) -- Children who are diagnosed
with schizophrenia or a number of other psychoses go on to
experience a progressively greater than normal loss of gray matter
in the frontal lobe region of the brain, new research suggests.
These adolescents also experience an above-average spike in the
amount of so-called "cerebrospinal fluid" found in the same
location, according to a report published in the January issue of
Archives of General Psychiatry.
In turn, children who experience these brain developments appear
to face an increased risk for longer hospitalization, more severe
illness and a poorer overall prognosis, the authors of the study
"We found progression of gray matter volume loss after a two-year follow-up in patients who ended up with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, but not bipolar disease, compared with healthy controls," Dr. Celso Arango, of the Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Maranon in Madrid, Spain, and colleagues said in a journal news release.
"Some of these pathophysiologic processes seem to be markers of poorer prognosis," the researchers added.
The findings stem from an analysis of brain changes detected
using MRI scans taken over a two-year period among 61 patients who
had been diagnosed with a range of different psychoses at one of
six child and adolescent psychiatric facilities in Spain.
In all, brain changes among 25 children diagnosed with
schizophrenia, 16 with bipolar disorder and 20 with a number of
other psychoses were stacked up against the brain status of 70
healthy children.
The result: in addition to the principal findings, the team
further observed that total brain gray matter (as well as gray
matter in the left parietal region of the brain) were notably
different among patients with schizophrenia compared with their
healthy peers.
"To develop therapeutic strategies to counteract these pathologic progressive brain changes, future studies should focus on their neurobiological underpinnings," the study authors advised.

New business PivotPlanet lets people test the waters of career change
Thursday, October 4, 2012
It's no secret that cereer transitions can be very difficult. KSTP recently profiled PivotPlanet, a new business aimed at making the process a little bit more manageable by linking aspirants with high-quality expert advisors for live, one-hour video or phone conferences. Company founder Brian Kurth explained that ""It helps you decide 'is this the direction I want to go?' Is it the answer, is it the cure-all? Probably not in an hour. But you can determine 'is this something I want to pursue further?'"
Sally Power, UST professor emeritus and author of The Mid Career Success Guide: Planning for the Second Half of Your Working Life, approves. "Most people who've done research on this say it takes between one and five years," she says. "It's changing your identity. And so you should really look at it, particularly in the early stages, as an experiment. You shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. Leave things tentative, so that if it's not working in a couple months, you can get out."

By IAN DEITCH
Associated Press
JERUSALEM (AP) - Yitzhak Shamir was a fighter for the Jews long before Israel's creation, an underground leader who led militias against the Arabs and British.
He made no apologies and no compromises _ not as an underground fighter, an intelligence agent who hunted Nazis, and as one of Israel's longest-serving prime ministers who refused to bargain for land.
The 96-year-old Shamir, who clung throughout his life to the belief that Israel should hang onto territory and never trust an Arab regime, died Saturday at a nursing home in Herzliya, north of Tel Aviv. Israeli media said Shamir had suffered from Alzheimer's disease in recent years.
Shamir was Israel's seventh prime minister, serving as premier for seven years, from 1983-84 and 1986-92, leading his party to election victories twice, despite lacking much of the outward charisma that characterizes many modern politicians. Barely over 5 feet (1.52 m) tall and built like a block of granite, he projected an image of uncompromising strength during the first intifada, or Palestinian uprising against Israel in the West Bank and Gaza.
His time in office was eventful, marked by the massive airlift of thousands of Ethiopian Jews to Israel, the Palestinian uprising and the 1991 Gulf war, when Iraq fired 39 Scud missiles at Israel.
"Yitzhak Shamir was a brave warrior before and after the founding of the State of Israel," said Israeli President Shimon Peres, Shamir's longtime political opponent. "He was loyal to his views, a great patriot and a true lover of Israel who served his country with integrity and unending commitment. May his memory be blessed."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Shamir "led Israel with a deep loyalty to the nation and to the land and to the eternal values of the Jewish people."
And the White House praised Shamir for helping to forge strong ties with the U.S.
"Yitzhak Shamir dedicated his life to the State of Israel. From his days working for Israel's independence to his service as Prime Minister, he strengthened Israel's security and advanced the partnership between the United States and Israel," the statement said.
Defeated in the 1992 election, Shamir stepped down as head of the Likud party and watched from the sidelines as his successor, Yitzhak Rabin, negotiated interim land-for-peace agreements with the Palestinians.
The agreements, including Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's recognition of Israel, did nothing to ease his suspicion.
In a 1997 interview with the New York-based Jewish Post, he declared: "The Arabs will always dream to destroy us. I do not believe that they will recognize us as part of this region."
The Labor movement, in power for Israel's first three decades, agreed to a 1947 U.N.-proposed partition plan to allow the creation of the Jewish state alongside a Palestinian entity. To Shamir, that was tantamount to treason.
Born Yitzhak Jazernicki in what is now Poland in 1915. Shamir moved to pre-state Palestine in 1935. Most of his family _ his parents, two sisters and their husbands and children _ stayed behind and were killed in the Holocaust during World War II. In the late 1980s, Shamir disclosed publicly that his father had escaped a train headed for a concentration camp, but then was killed by childhood friends he sought shelter with.
Once in Palestine, Shamir joined LEHI, the most hardline of three Jewish movements fighting for independence from the British mandate authorities, taking over the group's leadership after the British killed its founder.
The group, better known as the Stern Gang after former leader Abraham Stern, was considered responsible for a string of attacks, including the assassination of United Nations mediator Count Folke Bernadotte in Jerusalem and in September 1948. LEHI commanders considered Bernadotte to be a British agent who cooperated with the Nazis.
Shamir often disguised himself as an orthodox rabbi to avoid arrest by the British. Still, he was captured twice, but escaped from two British detention camps and returned to resistance action. The second camp was in Djibouti, in Africa.
After Israel was founded in 1948, Shamir went into business before entering a career in Israel's Mossad spy agency. During that time, he carried out operations against Nazi scientists who were helping Israel's Arab neighbors build rockets. Roni Milo, a former member of parliament who served under Shamir mourned his passing to Israeli TV.
"For years he served in the Mossad and oversaw many important operations," Milo said. "I once asked him about a street name while walking in Tel Aviv and Shamir said `I know the streets of Cairo and Damascus better than the streets of Tel Aviv.'"

The Exige S may have been the most hardcore Lotus we have driven to date but the British sportscar maker handed us the keys to the stripped down Exige V6 Cup, a car that firmly proves that less is more. We may now have to re-evaluate the meaning of hardcore.
Exige is a name given to the most potent cars Lotus produces, but does removing the roof dumb it down?
The Lotus Exige S Roadster takes the roof off the hardcore Exige and makes it a little more sane for road use. It's still pretty crazy, though.
Exige is the name that Lotus gives to the most hard-core, extreme car it makes. This new one is beyond brilliant; so good, in fact, that we're not sure whether it can be improved upon.
It's small, light and fiercely powerful. The 345bhp Lotus Exige S may just be the best Lotus yet.
Lotus has worked hard to create the best possible driving experience and has delivered an incredibly fast car.
Lotus' Exige Scura special edition will be clad from bumper to bumper in matte black paint.
At this week's Tokyo Motor Show, Lotus will be whipping the covers off its latest Exige coupe that's just graduated from ninja school.
CNET Car Tech posts photos of the 2010 Lotus Exige S240.
Lotus makes a line of lightweight cars with incredible handling, the kind of cars that, while road-legal, are most at home on the track. Although engineered to the nth degree, Lotus still found room for improvement on its latest Exige S240.

Johnson website takeover lost vote | Letters
I am deeply disappointed in you and your website. I was actually considering Jill Johnson until you desired to let her completely take over your web page.
I will now make sure that my vote will go to her opposing candidate.
You have fixed your page where, no matter where you touch it, you get an ad for her.
Shame on you for your favoritism.

My Room: Charlie Sue
Oakland, CA
One of Sara's favorite things about her daughter's nursery became too popular for her taste so she reinvented the room to fit her and her daughter better. She shares: Before my daughter Charlie was born, my mom and I created a sweet modern nursery for her. The main focus - the ubiquitous tissue pom lantern thing - was inspired by a post on Ohdeedoh, and I originally loved it. As time went on, though, the tissue pompom thing I created started to make me crazy - I was seeing it EVERYWHERE! I wanted a change by the time she was three months old. ;)
The desire to give her a room makeover was already there...but by the time Charlie was 6 months, her little personality became very apparent - and she was NOT girly. This is a very adventurous little girl, and I wanted to create a "big girl room" for her that reflected her personality and was a bit more fun.
I'm a huge fan of IKEA (we live 5 minutes from one!), and the room was actually inspired by a very cheap rug I found there (no longer for sale). I always wanted a rug like that when I was little, and now I'm living vicariously through Charlie. ;)
Over time, the perfect theme came to mind - a city. And when I decided to create a little reading nook for her, I came up with the idea to create a park-themed reading area in a modern city. The hot air balloons are made by Travels Light, and were a gift from my friend Reichel over at Copy Cat Chic (she bought them for her daughter's gorgeous nursery and didn't end up using them!). I think they look perfect above Charlie's crib, and have the added benefit of being earthquake safe (we live practically on top of the Hayward Fault - don't remind me!).
The little reading nook is one of my favorite parts. I love the LOVA leaf canopies from IKEA, and I've been surprised that more people on Ohdeedoh aren't using them in their kids' rooms! Sitting under them makes you feel like you're in a secret spot - they're awesome!
Underneath, she has "grass" (two little rugs, also from IKEA) and a cushy place to hang out. My mom made the big gumdrop pillows, and I made the animal pillows (I'm an illustrator, and they're from my drawings). Because I wanted everything within her reach, I used the spice racks I see on Ohdeedoh practically every day (for good reason!).
Over her changing area are two wooden biplanes with a special purpose. I am super proud of this idea - it was a stroke of genius in the dead of the night. ;) I needed a place to hang her barrettes - so I created little banners for these planes (thick floral wire inside white ribbon), and clipped her barrettes on them.
The shelves on the wall are RIBBA photo shelves (from IKEA, of course). Behind them, I painted clouds directly on the wall (I was inspired by shelves I saw on Ohdeedoh, but wanted something a little more handmade looking).
Her original nursery included a lot of artwork, and I was sad that a photo wall didn't exactly fit in with the new theme. There were a couple of pieces of artwork that I really wanted to display, though, so I put them on the shelves - like the Wish Tree print (one of the items from my shop), which my husband and I filled out for her and means a lot to us.
And of course, the super helpful IKEA Expedit, outfitted with everything a girl could possibly need.
Thanks Sara! Readers, see more of Charlie's nursery on Sara's blog, Stinkerpants. Curious about the first iteration of the nursery? See it here.

I really love this! Well done!
The barrette airplanes are ingenious! Great job mom :)
Best thing about this room... the BabySmart Cooshee changer. I don't know why everyone doesn't have one of these. By far one of the best baby products I invested in and they look great, too. I also have 3 Travels Light balloons in my nursery to tie in with the theme that was inspired by an IKEA bedspread (great minds, right?). They are beautiful, sophisticated but still fun. And I'm totally jealous of your wall of shelves. Nice job!
I do still love the *classic* POM thing but those planes are pretty great..
I love the mural and the reading corner. Perfect.
Thanks so much, everyone!
And I totally agree, crackerjack - that Cooshee changer is the most amazing thing EVER. It's my go-to gift for baby showers!
Love the tree art. It looks like a "family tree". Did you make or buy it?
One of the cutest nurseries I've ever seen on here! Love it!
I love this nursery. It's full of cute little attentions to detail. Charlie Sue is going to be happy here!
@wseattlemom - it's a "wish tree." I made it, but it's an item in my shop. :) My husband and I filled out all of our wishes for our children ("listen to your mom" is a good one, haha).
Thank you so much, @bohemianbeauty! That's a huge compliment!
This really is gorgeous, love the airplanes, the reading nook, the cloud shelves and, of course, the tree print! Well done :) Saved to my inspiration file...
I so very much LOVE the reading nook - great idea!
I thought I was "up" on all cool baby gear but the Cooshee changer slipped me by! I NEED that!!!!
Great job!!! What is the paint color??

Americans will be traveling a little bit more this Thanksgiving holiday but spending less on airfare and trips overall, according to the AAA's Thanksgiving Holiday Travel Forecast.
During the five-day weekend, 43.6 million people will travel 50 miles or more from home, an increase of 0.7 percent compared to the 43.3 million who made trips last Thanksgiving, according to the forecast.
However, in another sign of Americans' belt-tightening, median spending per trip is forecast to be $498, a 10 percent decrease from last year.
"This follows what we have seen all year, with folks wanting to get out there and travel but still watching what they spend," said Beth Mosher, a spokeswoman for the AAA's Chicago Motor Club.
The decrease in average spending per trip is due in part to more travelers shying away from air travel to use their own cars or other modes of transport, despite the fact airfares are on average 11 percent cheaper than last year, Mosher said.
The 39.1 million people who will be traveling by automobile should get a much-needed break on gasoline prices, with GasBuddy.com reporting the national average for a gallon of regular has fallen 26.8 cents during the last month. In Northwest Indiana prices have fallen 11 cents per gallon in the last week.
However, gas prices nationally remain 6.1 cents higher per gallon than one year ago, according to GasBuddy.com, which operates more than 250 local gas price Web sites across the U.S. and Canada.
And on Tuesday night the gas price tracking Web site put out an alert that gasoline prices could spike as much as 15 cents per gallon in Northwest Indiana for the holiday based on price hikes that day at some gas stations.
With most large summer construction projects wrapping up in Northwest Indiana, traffic on local roads should be flowing smoothly.
One significant restriction that remains in place is the closure of Dock Street between Dickey Road and Canal Street in East Chicago, said INDOT spokesman Matt Deitchley. That stretch of Dock Street has been closed for the Cline Avenue Bridge demolition.
Motorists also should be prepared for some lane restrictions on U.S. 12/20 (Fourth Avenue) in Gary, for the road reconstruction project there.
INDOT will be imposing a construction moratorium statewide starting Wednesday and running through Monday, so traffic disruptions are minimized, Deitchley said.
In Illinois, most construction will be suspended but motorists can expect closed shoulders and concrete barriers with lane shifting at some of the larger projects, said IDOT spokesman Mike Claffey.
Those include the Interstate 57 reconstruction and ramp project at Interstate 294 in Markham; Interstate 55 (Stevenson Expressway) and Central Avenue in Chicago; and I-55 at Arsenal Road in the Joliet area. There will be some construction work in progress during the weekend on frontage roads for the I-55/Arsenal Road project.
The good news on the last project is that it should return to a normal lane configuration around Dec. 1.
There also is good news on the Illinois Tollway system that is expected to come in time for the long holiday weekend.
The Illinois Tollway is wrapping up work on the $112.6 million Central Tri-State Tollway I-294 project in Rosemont. It is expected to return to a normal lane configuration and normal speed limit this week.
Indiana State Police have joined with local police agencies across the state for their annual Safe Family Travel Campaign, which started Friday and will run through Dec. 2.
State police and local agencies will conduct high-visibility enforcement, including sobriety check points and saturation patrols targeting those driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs as well as those not wearing seat belts.
Illinois State Police will be targeting what they call the "fatal four" this holiday weekend, which are speeding, no seat belts, distracted driving and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, according to State Police Sgt. Jose DeJesus.
Illinois State Police will be patrolling the interstates as well as doing roadside checks with the goal of reducing crashes and keeping motorists safe, DeJesus said.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Law Enforcement sources tell KREM 2 News the intended victim of a bomb placed under a car on N. Monroe was shot at within the past few weeks.
Sources said the man was shot at within the past few weeks. They said he was not seriously injured during the shooting.

I am feeling extremely frustrated today. I work at a job that is pretty insignificant, if you can image a really life Office Space that would be where I work. I had a co-worker accuse my of steeling Tylenol of another co-workers desk because apparently they didn't hear me ask via im to have some. I must have missed the memo when they got promoted to cubical police.
I come home irritated burnt out, and wishing I worked with more intelligent people only to realize that the house is a mess, my firefighter is exhausted and we still have to run some errands. The whole time we are out mu husband is asking me if I'm upset, annoyed, irritated…of course I say no. I really don't want to be. IN fact I am trying my best NOT to be. The questions just seem to grind at me.
Yet, the whole time I am trying to breath and trying to remember the blog post I read today by a fellow Fire EMS BLogger. They wrote a post today called Stains. It is a nitty gritty real life look at the emotions that I am sure my own husband goes through and never shares.
Here are just a few lines from the post….
"…at 6:45 in the morning, I can�t muster a smile. And you�d know why sometimes, even when I can, the smile always looks tired, and never quite reaches my eyes…."
"When it�s eleven patients and one medic, and the second-in unit is still five minutes away, you have to decide who can most benefit from your care. Reds are immediate, yellows are delayed, greens have minor injuries and a few of those will even sign refusals. Some of the sickest reds will be blacks by the time you get back to them. And the blacks� well, the blacks are just inanimate meat between you and your viable patients."
"when we pulled her shattered body from the car, her head lolled back on her broken neck, wiping her blood-smeared hair down the front of my shirt."
"And so I just stood there mutely as she sobbed into my chest, her fingers digging into my arms, tears soaking through the fabric of my shirt, searing my soul like drops of acid. And there was not one Goddamned thing I could do to make it easier for her."
I was in tears by the end of the read. I wasn't crying because I felt sad for the author, he was doing his job. I wasn't crying because of the tragic situation because bad shit happens. I was crying because I realized my own selfishness in it all. His story was about not smiling at an ER nurse, but what does that mean about all the firefighter wives out there that have no clue what kind of shift their spouse has had to go through and then comes home and you treat him poorly.
It made me think I about all the times I have been annoyed about him being tired, crabby, quiet, withdrawn, aggravated, and so on.
Thus, thank you A Day in the Life of an Ambulance Driver for reminding me of my role in this relationship. Of reminding me what my husband goes through and how well he has adjusted to that job, that lifestyle.
If you are a firefighter's wife and girlfriend and you have no clue what your spouse goes through in a given 24hr shift then you need to read that post and think about how you can be more selfless, because they real are giving everything they got for the job.

There were better early house records, but Jack Your Body's unexpected success – and Hurley's anonymity then and now – have given it a special place in British pop history. A full 18 months before acid house fever, Hurley's mercury-thin, metallic beat, with a hairspray hi-hat as prominent in the mix as the vocal, confused the hell out of people; this, after all, was an age of maximalism (it was followed at No 1 by George Michael and Aretha Franklin's pumped and vacuous I Knew You Were Waiting For Me). Crucially, Jack Your Body had no verse or chorus, and only the most basic melody, with Hurley's treated, disembodied voice repeating the title over and over. Everything rides on its rhythm and repetition. The modern pop era starts here.

A Day Late, Way More than a Dollar Short (of Sanity)
- Thursday, April 22, 2010
Greetings, loyal reader.
I write to you from the Bizarro Alternate Universe, where my head has spent the last two days fighting off the nastiest cold north of Antarctica. Seriously, at this point, I'd consider a swap of this for 'the sickness.' You know it's bad when I still haven't watched the episode a second time yet.
I'll be a day late with my full update this week. Look for it by Friday noon. The way I figure it, with a full two weeks between episodes this time (that's right, sorry to be the bearer of bad news if you didn't realize LOST is taking a week off), you'll need something to read during the hiatus.
For now, I leave you with what's been jangling around in my mucus-filled head. Or, just part of it. Because you seriously don't want to know that as I've slept my brain has - completely on its own - come up with theories like Widmore's mortar shells and the Dharma food drops both being controlled by some weird Truman Show-like eye-in-the-sky, or that Jack was killed by one of those mortar shells and the MiB just brought him back to life. Rest assured that when I woke up, blew my nose, and took a sip of my spiked O.J. I told my brain to shut up.
One legit question it's been working on, though, is this:
So the MiB admits that he was appearing as Christian Shephard. I'd still like to know how Smokey/Christian:
a) Appeared to Jack in the hospital lobby after the O6 returned
b) Appeared to Michael on the freighter
c) Appeared to Sun and Lapidus at the barracks when Flocke and Ben were still over on Hydra
Either these are oversights because they are exceptions to the "Smokey can't leave the island and Smokey can't cross the ocean except on a boat" rules, or in those instances some other entity was appearing as Christian (perhaps Jack and Michael were hallucinating, but Michael would have been hallucinating about a person he'd never seen before).
A related question I have is how Smokey knew to appear as Christian to Jack. That is, to know how to appear as Isabella to Richard, he had to do his little memory-flashy-electric-stare trick. I've thought ever since The Pilot episode that when Jack, Kate, and Charlie run from the Monster after it rips Seth Norris from the cockpit, that Jack answers his friends' questions evasively after they all join up again. They all deny they saw the monster, but they all seem to be hiding something. Jack says he dove into the bushes. I think perhaps Smokey stared him down and got the information he needed to show up as Dead Christian a day later. Another possibility that some fans have speculated on for a long time is that in the very first shot ever, where Jack wakes up in the jungle, it kinda-sorta looks like reflected in his eyes is a receding cloud of smoke...
See you tomorrow with thoughts on "The Last Recruit" (I hope).

Help Me Find a No-Slip, Easy to Clean Rug for My Kitchen
Good Questions
Editor: Readers, do you have any recommendations for no-slip rugs that work well in front of a kitchen sink?
Next question?
(Image: Katie Y.)
9 Comments
There's a store, below my building that sell exactly that type of rugs, it is called Basics Plus (845 2nd Ave in Manhattan, NYC). Though they do not always have on their website the products that they hold in the store, it's worth a try. Basics Plus
Good luck.
I have a quite long (six feet, maybe?) braided rug that is in front of my sink and adjoining cupboards. Because it is so long, it doesn't move around easily. It's machine washable, but I usually just shake it outside most of the time. A small cloth rug is going to rumple and shift much more easily.
Ocean state job lot has these foam welcome mats that are actually pretty nice for the kitchen. Of course this only helps if you live in the northeast.
The LL Beans Waterhog mats are great.
Chilewich indoor/outdoor rugs are the way to go!
Does anyone have any ideas on where I can get the same sort of thing in the UK?
I use bathmats with a rubber backing. Absorbent? Yes. Machine washable? Yes. Anti-slip? Yes. Cheap? Yes.
I keep a pile of three or four in a cabinet and whenever the current one gets too dirty I throw it in the hamper and pull out another one.
2nd @ThriftatHome. I also use a long braised rug, they have cheap on overstock.com and don't show dirt and can be spot cleaned:
it is not the most attractive, but it blends in with oak wood flooring and is relatively cheap. as a bonus, our cats use ir=t to scratch and it doesn't show the scratch marks.
Instead of focusing on getting just a small mat, have you considered a larger one that would take up a majority of space in your kitchen? My grandparents used to have one in their kitchen that took up a lot of space. They had bad feet and having the extra traction with the rug helped ensure they wouldn't slip and fall especially when cooking. I think Oriental Rugs could be the way to go. Not only do they feature intricate, beautiful designs, but they are known for being more durable. It will hold up better than most rugs. Go for darker colors and it will resist more stains. Not sure if you can watch it in a machine, but a bit of vinegar on it with a rug doctor (it won't be too expensive if you use vinegar instead of the expensive shampoos) should do the trick.

Sticky-fingered students: Nutella theft hits Columbia
The Ivy League university's student newspaper says $5,000 in the chocolate-hazelnut spread disappears each week.
Students who haven't had sugary cereal since grade school and were raised on grain-and-fruit blends buckle in the face of ubiquitous Cocoa Puffs and Cap'n Crunch. Undergrads who'd never even heard of a Monte Cristo sandwich before entering the dining hall start eating them two at a time. Soft ice cream becomes an appropriate side dish to any meal.
Then there's Columbia University, where the chocolate-hazelnut spread flows freely, and ongoing thefts of the large brown jars add up to $5,000 a week, according to The Columbia Spectator.
But why Nutella? Is there a black market for a dessert spread being lost at an estimated 100 pounds per day? Are students running underground creperies out of their dorm rooms? Is there a similar run on bananas?
No. The problem is that Nutella is both tasty and somewhat costly. Even at discount chains like Wal-Mart (WMT), it fetches more than $6 per 26.5-ounce container, compared to $4 for a similar size container of Jif peanut butter. In France, citizens collectively flipped out when it was suggested that palm oil -- one of Nutella's key ingredients -- be taxed at 300%, according to France 24.
The spread is so beloved in some circles that even the $3 million settlement of a class action last year targeting claims made by Nutella's U.S. distributor, Ferrero USA, that it was good for children did little did little to diminish its standing. The sizable to-go cups of Nutella reportedly taken from Columbia dining halls and the full jars suddenly disappearing from its shelves back this up.
But has $5,000 worth of Nutella really been disappearing on a weekly basis since it debuted on campus in mid-February? The New York Times concludes that's probably not the case, quoting a Columbia spokeswoman who claims initial reports are "roughly 10 times greater than the actual figures." And Gothamist suggests the university's dining department is getting ripped off well before Nutella reaches students' hands, if it's paying $5,000 a week for the stuff.
With Columbia charging a whopping $2,363 per term for dining expenses, student council representatives say they're not surprised that students feel a bit entitled to their ill-gotten goodies.
However, why limit yourself to spreading stolen Nutella on any stale baguette that comes your way? Just leave it where it sits, and make it part of Columbia's Whole Foods-style dining-hall feast that, according to the Spectator, includes almond butter and lobster tails. They may have to spend roughly $50,000 to get there, but new Columbia students should have no problem breaking the speed record for adding the freshman 15 to their waistlines this semester, on a road paved with every elitist Ivy League metaphor imaginable.
Be advised that the Nutella sold in the US is Nutella only in name. The American- produced Nutella does not contain the same original ingredients used in France or Italy. It is actually illegal to sell
Italian Nutella with the proper ingredients in the US since Nestle bought out Ferrero, the original company that invented Nutella. For marketing and economic purposes Nestle only allows US made Nutella in the US..If you want to buy French or Italian Nutella you have to buy it as a bootlegged item coming from Canada, where it is legal to sell original Nutella. Sorry Americans never got to taste what Nutella is really like. I grew up on the stuff. If you travel to Europe, try the real stuff but be advised: it's addictive. Spread it, lick it, put a crepe' on it, bake with it etc.. You will not be disappointed.

MOSCOW, Idaho -- A woman is left looking for answers after thieves broke into her car last weekend in Moscow, Idaho and stole her dad's ashes.
Tina Krauss said her dad loved to travel and she kept her dad's ashes in her car so he could join her on all of her journeys. John Krauss was an Army Veteran who died almost 8 years ago.
"I like the idea of him sort of being with me wherever I go whether I leave his ashes there or not," Krauss said.
When she went to start her car last weekend, she noticed that someone had broken in. Thieves stole sunglasses and a few other small things including the small wooden box with her father's ashes inside. Krauss said she was devastated when she found out.
"He was the kind of guy that could talk to anybody. If he's standing in line at the grocery store he'd make a friend," Krauss said.
Krauss said the box the ashes were in also has sentimental value. It has been on countless trips across the country. She is hoping to be reunited with the ashes so she can take her dad on one final trip.
"My dad hadn't been to Alaska or Hawaii. So I'd really like to take him there," Krauss said.
Krauss said she just wants the ashes back. If not the ashes, then the box they were in. You are asked to call the Moscow Police Department if you have any information.

Nature's Sweetest Gifts
The unmistakable sweet scent of orange blossoms drifts through the air and invites you to take a moment to inhale the goodness. These crisp, little white blossoms are destined to become some of the sweetest, ripest fruit in the United States. The citrus fruit is grown at Nokomis Groves, which includes three groves, a processing plant and large gift store, all family-owned and operated the old-fashioned way for three generations. The luscious, hand-picked citrus is available in gift baskets that can be shipped to 48 states and portions of Canada.
History runs deep in the roots of the citrus growers, which began in 1935 when the current owners' grandparents managed Stone Grove on Venice Avenue. After it was sold, the couple purchased their own 45 acres on Albee Farm Road in Nokomis and planted a variety of citrus trees in 1948. As Nokomis Groves started to grow, two additional areas close by were acquired and appropriately named Buzz Tail and Boar's Head, for the rattlesnakes and wild boar occasionally seen on the properties.
Today, Nokomis Groves is run by the five granddaughters: Linda, Brenda, Sandie, Laura, and Joanna. Brenda's husband, David, is the grove manager, and Aaron, the fourth generation, is the master ice cream maker.
The three groves comprise 140 acres and have many varieties of citrus trees, which mature at different times from early November through April: Navel and Red Navel Oranges, Falglo Tangerines, Star Ruby Grapefruit, Orlando Tangelos, Honeybell Tangelos, Temple Oranges, Honey Tangerines, and Valencia Oranges.
The Nokomis Groves Gift Shop is a beehive of activity every day during their season. You can purchase one piece of fruit or a bagful and browse through shelves stocked full of beautiful, large jars of marmalades, all types of candy, jewelry, and novelties native to Florida. You're invited to try a sample of the fresh-squeezed orange juice for sale when you drop a nickel into the family's cute, vintage piggybank named "Blossom." The shop is also home to the packinghouse where you can see how the fruit is sorted and packaged for shipping.
Giving a gift of Florida sun-kissed fruit will be enjoyed with each bite of juicy goodness. You may send fruit only or choose from several, fun gift packs, which include fruit along with a bounty of treasures, such as a moist Tortuga cake, marmalade, orange blossom honey, cookies, chocolate coins and candy alligators. The Key Lime Krazy pack even includes a cookbook, and a pretty seashell. Join the Nokomis Club Plan and taste the juicy citrus throughout the growing season.
Ice cream may be the ultimate treat and chances are you'll be visiting often to enjoy the varieties made from a secret family recipe. Visitors find it irresistible and order cones or cups of the frozen deliciousness: orange, swirled orange and vanilla or a lime and chocolate mix, and fat-free pineapple, which can be swirled with orange ice cream.
Whichever way you choose to enjoy the citrus gifts of nature, you will find them all, and more, at Nokomis Groves. Take home some Florida sun-kissed citrus today!
