My BFF Dumped Me Because I'm Pregnant
As soon as I told my bestie I was pregnant, she withdrew herself from me. And when I found out why, I wasn't sure I wanted to be her friend anyway.
Momlogic's Talitha: There are friends in my life that are closer than family, and though that is an amazingly deep connection, in some cases, it can be too much. When I announced to my best friend that I was pregnant, rather than being happy for me, she was more concerned about herself, and where she was in her life ... or better yet, where she wasn't. Rather than reveling in the moment with me, she whined about "when was it going to be her time to have babies," she was the "older one after all." I found this deeply disturbing . Though I understand the pressure one feels about marriage, pregnancy and age, I don't think it should take away from another person's happiness.
When she asked me not to talk about my pregnancy "as much as I did," I was done. She claimed that, because of her age, it was very upsetting for her to hear about the pregnancy, and "did I know just how much I talked about it?" Let's rewind: She got mad at me for talking about the single most important thing that's ever happened to me, because of her own feelings of inadequacy. Umm. No.
I understand that it must be hard when a close friend gets something you really want, or when a younger sister gets married before the older one. I understand what it's like to be single and alone, wondering when your time is going to come. But never would I make my friends edit themselves because of my own issues. I may come home and cry about it, and maybe I'd even cry to them about it, but I wouldn't ask them not to express their joy.
Truth is, it's my time to be selfish, and I don't want to be surrounded by negative energy. I would normally try to work through it and edit myself, and be the compassionate one, but I'm not going to do it this time. I want to talk about my baby and my pregnancy and my hormones and my growing belly, and my delivery and everything else whenever I want to. And it looks like it will have to be without her.
It took me 7 years to get pregnant. I have many friends with as many as 4 children. Each time they told me they were pregnant I was excited for them. It is a blessing and it deserves some excited squeals. A real friend doesn't act like that.
You must be very young if you still think emotions define people. Your despairing BFF could very well turn out to be your best babysitter a year from now, and all those squealing joy mongers nowhere to be found the second you want to spend a little 'baby-free' time. As to her reaction, she seems to be in shock, as only the accomplishment of a very close friend or family member can bring on. It's all hit home for her now, that she may never get pregnant. Anything could have brought on her despair, had you lost weight instead of getting pregnant for example. Unfortunately, it just so happens pregnancy is her hot button. And what a sad button it is! Would you feel sorry for her if an illness had brought on her infertility, as opposed to age? To her it's all the same thing, and as inconvenient as it is to you, stop feeling so entitled to a 'perfect' pregnancy with 'perfect' reactions' and get on the reality train already and help your friend any way you can.
You just lost dead weight. No friend acts like that.
Are you talking about it 24/7 to her? She may have a point. Try seeing it from her side.
Maybe she was just sick of hearing you go on and on about it? No matter how much someone loves you and is happy for you, they really don't want to hear about each second of your pregnancy.
I think you do have every right to be excited about your pregnancy. But has it taken over all your conversation? Have you asked your friend about her life lately and what has been on her mind? She didn't ask you never to talk about it again, only to cut down on baby conversation. I admire her for telling you how she felt instead of just sitting there resenting you. And no, it's not your "time to be selfish". That's just a justification you're using to make yourself feel better. Friendship is a two way street. Your friend told you how she was feeling. Respect that and the courage it took her to tell you. If you want to pull back from the frienship, fine. But acknowledge that you are part of the problem too.
Robynn, I think you are right on! I am not a mom yet but all of my friends are. I enjoy hearing their pregnancy and kid stories but sometimes it is a bit much. I have had conversations where we have ONLY talking about pregnancy. I don't expect my friends to just focus on me but it would be nice for someone to ask and seem interested in my job or just to chat about current events. Friendship is give and take, and like Robynn pointed out so well, being pregnant is not a license "to be selfish".
I agree with Robynn. I'm a mother of 2 and I have some women that I work with who can NEVER talk about anything but their kids! Trust me, I love my kids but I'm not only a mother but also a women, friend, sister, daughter, wife, worker and many other things and you need to be able to converse about many other parts of your life too.
My closest friend "dumped" me . Our split startd because she did not feel is was fair for me to complain about my 24/7 vomiting for 9.5 months (when you are sick you realize the extra .5!) When i got the courage to tell her i was disappointed in her pulling away from me (we used to see each other weekly- now it was less than once a month- and we were best friends, she told me i was "emotionally abusive" (i certainly am not- she just couldn't tolerate for once my asserting my feelings as opposed to taking care of her- this difference was so wounding to her it probably felt abusive). She dumped me when my son was 8 days old. 5 years later, we finally have become acquaintances again, but i can never trust her.
no matter what a friend should be happy for you-if it upsets her she should talk about that too but not expect you to alter yourself for her,. because of her own issues of inadequacy. It sounds like she's got a lot of issues and you don't need that bad energy around right now.
Oh, girl, that really stinks. I don't think she is/was as good a friend as you thought. How shallow and petty of her to be acting as she is. Life and major life events are not a race. She has issues that you can't and should not even try to "fix" for her.
I was married for 8 years before having my first daughter after trying for 1 year. I was 30 when daughter the 1st was born, 32 when I had daughter the 2nd.
I don't remember feeling snippy when most of my friends had children before I did. I could have had my daughters when I was younger, but waited, partly because my (now late) husband had a horrific childhood and didn't think he would be a good parent. He was still hesitant when I decided I did want children. We lost him 6 years ago due to cancer, and I can't imagine how my life would be if I didn't have my girls.
She didn't ask you NOT to express your joy she asked you NOT to express it as much as you did. Geesh. You got pregnant. Congratulations. It's an important aspect of YOUR life but that doesn't mean your friend has to be over the moon about it 24/7 either. Did you have anything else to talk about besides your womb? It's no different than wedding talk. I'll be excited for you, I'll be happy to discuss it with you to a point but realize it's really only a life changing event for you.
Pregnant women (and brides to be for that matter) need to learn that these earth shattering, life changing events are really only earth shattering and life changing for YOU. I'd be thrilled to hear my friend was pregnant, I'd be less thrilled to have to hear about it 24/7 for the entire gestation period. I have a feeling your friend got tired about hearing about your womb. And by the way, she didn't tell you not to talk about it she asked you not to talk about it so much.
Here's another reader agreeing with Robynn. Right on!
And Anonymous - I won't want to hear about your 24/7 9 1/2 month of vomitting either. I won't want to hear about anyone's Same Problem, Different Day for 9 1/2 months. Yes it was a difficult period for you but there waas nothing your freind could do about so did you ever think maybe it was hard for her to hear about yoru suffering and she couldn't do anything about?
Plus vomitting isn't always a welcome topic, especially frequent topic - just like bowels movements.
People absolutely have low tolerant for those things.
I think your friend was not wrong in moving on.
Did she say she has "feelings of inadequacy" or are you just making a judgement on HER? What a horrible thing to say. Of course this is a huge, important life event for you. For YOU. Have some compassion for others who may not be in the same wonderful life moment as you though.
You come across as a PregZilla in this post.
add me to the list…Robyn said it very well
as someone who had 3 miscarriages and spent a year trying to get pregnant with one child and then the next pregnancy gave birth 3 months early, hearing my friends 'great news' was always bitter sweet. I always said how happy I was for them, but inside I was crying…I don't think I could have handled it if they went on and on cause "it was their selfish time"…that's just as stupid as eating two Big Mac's cause you are 'eating for two' when the other person is only 4 ounces. I agree with above that you come across as Pregzilla here…your friend didn't say stop, she said not so much
I think some people are coming across as pretty harsh here. Just because you don't want to hear about it doesn't mean make her feel bad. She's pregnant and this is her time. Let her enjoy it whether it be talking about it all the time or not. We are only pregnant for 9 months (some of us shorter or longer whatever it may be). These babies grow up and before you know it their living their lives and possibly having babies of their own. It's life. It's not always about worrying what others think. Why is it we can't think of ourselves for once?
BTW, this coming from someone who had 2 miscarriages and two preemies. So it's not like I don't understand the hurt part of others feelings or that I'm insensitive. We all revel in something, whether it be a new job, a new baby, a wedding or your dog or cat.
I don't think anyone is saying that it is okay to make this woman feel badly. Pregnancy is very exciting but no one wants to hear about pregnancy (or anything else) non-stop. That is fine to just think about yourself and not worry about what others think but then she shouldn't be surprised if no one wants to hear from her again. Relationships, if they are going to last, are give and take. It sounds like this woman just wants to take.
When I was planning my wedding I was going on about centerpieces and my sister just turned to me and said "Heather, we get the point. Enough!" It was an eye opener for me! Nobody wants to hear anyone ramble about anything non-stop even when it is the most important thing in your life. So when I was preggers I made sure I was sharing and listening with others.(Sometimes) brides and mamas think they get a free pass to be dominate the conversation and that just isn't the case.

So as I have stated before, I'm in graduate school for game design/ game art. The capstone project that I have been on just got the green light to continue development! I was originally the concept artist on the project, but now I am also the Art Lead! So I will be uploading things from the game and such.
HIT is a third-person, murder mystery shooter with elements of the party game Mafia. In the game, 4-8 players are given several objectives to complete in a swanky modern mansion on a volcanic island.

Verbal abuse is a common form of abuse in many relationships. However, it can be very subtle and hard to recognize, so much so that most of the time victims don't even know its happening.
Verbal abuse is often disguised or explained away as something else, such as humor ("I was just making a joke") or love ("you know I love you"). A skilled abuser can destroy your self-esteem while at the same time making you believe that they really care for you. Verbal abuse can also become so regular that it becomes normal communication.
A common problem for victims of verbal abuse is that the abuse makes them confused and they don't know what to believe -- their own thoughts or the abusers words.
So if verbal abuse is so hard to recognize, are there any verbal abuse signs? Yes.
Below are 8 verbal abuse signs. These are from the article How Can Someone Identify and Respond to Verbal Abuse? by Cathy Meyer.
Do you recognize any of these verbal abuse signs in your relationship? If so, in the next post we'll take a look at some of the things you can do to stop verbal abuse.
* This is the first article of two on verbal abuse and signs of verbal abuse. In the next article we'll identify things you can do to stop verbal abuse.

"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!!"
"I love these cards and have received many compliments on them. The paper is heavy and has a lovely texture. The ink color is lush and appears exactly as it does on the website. The print quality is very high. The continuation of the flower design on the back put their rich look over the top. My rush order on 50 of these beautiful cards was delivered as promised. My only regret is that I did not order more. I wanted to send them to everyone!"
"I love my invitations!! They arrived way before the expected delivery date and they looked exactly how they were supposed to. No mistakes were made and I have no complaints at all."
"Color true to picture. Card stock excellent. Had a little trouble with the website in terms of request for recipient address to be printed but called the company and they made everything right."

Six Reasons My Toddler is Kind of an A**hole
If my toddler was one of my girlfriends, I'd kick her to the curb.
Momlogic's Momstrosity: Since becoming a parent, I spend a great deal of time with my three-year-old. We're inseparable. But to be honest, even though she's my BFF, she's not the greatest friend. At one time or another all toddlers can be jerks -- adorable, cuddly, hilarious, jerks. Put simply, if I had to scale down my friend inventory she'd be the first to go, here's why:
She's extremely self-absorbed
You know the type, they never ask questions in conversation. Instead it's all about them. All day long it's: "I like pink!," "Watch me bounce on the bed", "I went poo in my pants!" Just once I'd like to hear her ask me what's MY favorite color or inquire if, perhaps, I went poo in MY pants.
She calls me in the middle of the night
Can you say needy? I mean I have to work WAY earlier than she does ... actually she doesn't even have a job. So I find it really irritating that anytime she needs a shoulder to cry on -- or more milk -- she has no compunction about waking me up, sometimes more than once a night. It's been going on for years. I like to be there for my friends, but this is ridiculous.
She's manic AND a control freak
Not a great combination. Her personality can change on a dime. One minute she's standing on a chair in full princess regalia happily singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," the next she's uncontrollably crying and hurling her tiara across the room because I brought her juice in the wrong sippy cup. I'm constantly walking on eggshells. It's like hanging out with a tiny alcoholic who swigs massive amounts of milk.
She's a slob
Ever have a friend who was a little lax in the hygiene department? Multiply that by a hundred. There are times when the kid reeks. But does she care? No way. I'm always the one who has to broach the bath subject. What's worse is she doesn't care if her hair is combed, her teeth brushed or her clothes are crusty with dried yogurt. Giving her friendly advice, like, "You only get one chance to make a first impression" falls on deaf ears.
She's a fair weather friend
She's the kind of friend that it's great when you're at the top of her list -- especially if you have candy -- but then she'll drop you like a hot Mr. Potato Head.
She's a mooch
It's galling. She's NEVER offered to pay or at least split the check when we go out to lunch. Even worse, we've been roommates ever since she was born and she's never once remembered to help with the rent.
Seriously, would you stay friends with someone like this?

I think that is an interesting point, it made me think a bit. Thanks for sparking my thinking cap. Sometimes I get so much in a rut that I just feel like a record.
Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.
Sometimes I just think that people write and dont really have much to say. Not so here. You definitely have something to say and you say it with style, my man! You sure do have an interesting way of drawing people in, what with your videos and your words. Youve got quite a one-two punch for a blog!
Hi, was just browsing through the internet looking for some information and came across your blog. I am impressed by the information that you have on this blog. It shows how well you understand this subject. Bookmarked this page, will come back for more. You, my friend, ROCK!!!
Heyy â I should say, I sure am happy with your website. I had no trouble navigating via all of the tabs and the information was really easy to gain access to. I discovered what I wanted in no time at all. Pretty awesome. Thank s alot!
Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had.
it was very interesting to read. I want to quote your post in my blog. It can? And you have an account on Twitter?
Every now and then, life will get so busy that shall we now not find time to mention "Thanks" to somebody, who impressed us. So Thanks" For this article :)
Brilliant post. You know I just got back together with my ex and this blog just made me even happier.
My name is Lukas and i am coming from Poland. I am a member of the wedding photographers greece group and i really love taking wedding photos. i have studied web design in greece at a private college and at my free time i create web sites for my friends and me. I have read most of your articles and comments that you publish daily and i would like to thank you and express my appreciation for your really nice work.
I actually knew about most of this, but having said that, I still thought it was useful. Nice job!
I recently came across your web site and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my very first comment. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this website very frequently.
Brilliant post. You know I just got back together with my ex and this blog just made me even happier.
This post seems to get a great deal of visitors. How do you promote it? It gives a nice unique spin on things. I guess having something authentic or substantial to say is the most important thing.

The $600 million stadium will be built near I-75 and I-285 in Smyrna. Developers also plan to build shops, restaurants and office space in the area.
Chairman Tim Lee said new figures indicate the stadium will generate sales and property tax income of $12.6 million each year. That is $3.5 million more than first estimated last November.
Over a ten-year period, county leaders project the stadium will bring in $132.3 million.
"My hopes are that it will give some confidence to people to believe that this is the right project at the right time, that we have looked at the best interests of our community," said Lee.
The Braves last year announced they would move out of their current location at Turner Field for the 2017 season. The team said more of its fan base is in the Cobb County area.
Lee said the increased revenue projections come as property values in the county continue to rise and the hotel-motel taxes collected are higher than they have been in 10 years.
County leaders said the additional revenue collected will be channeled to areas that benefit taxpayers. A large portion of the extra money will go to schools.
"We're glad it's going to be positive for the school system, and I think they're looking forward to it," said Lee.
Commissioners will review four proposals from contractors next week. A final stamp of approval on the stadium plans is scheduled for May 27.

Im getting really confused with all this and Ive got copies of all my files all over the shop. I'm never gonna lose a file (touch wood) but what with local profiles, offline files, and now skydrive, I cant help but feel like Ive always got 3 copies of the same stuff on the local machine.
I have the following setup:
c:\users\username\documents is redirected to \\staffserv\username\docs\
but also offline files is enabled so anything in that file is cached in the c:\windows\whereveroffflinefilesaresaved
I also have the official app from skydrive installed, which makes c:\username\skydrive\documents available to my skydrive
So I copied everyting from c:\users\username\documents to c:\username\skydrive\documents and it synced with the skydrive and they are now available online, but they are now also on another PC i installed the skydrive app on.
So am I right in thinking that Ive now got 3 copies of the same files (redirected to the server, local copy of offline files, and in the skydrive folder as well) (not to mention then replicated to any other computer I have the skydrive app installed on?
This is going to become a concern when I have 25GB of skydrive files and forget when I am connected via a 3G connection with limited data, or overseas etc.
Is there an easy way to manage all these levels of sync?

LAWTON, Okla._
Fallen veterans were honored all across America Saturday as wreathes were laid on their grave sights at noon.
There were several ceremonies held in Comanche County.
Lawton's local chapter of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association participated honoring fallen heroes at Highland Cemetery on Fort Sill Boulevard.
They may have been laid to rest, but they are not forgotten.
Each military veteran honored during a colors ceremony.
After a moment of silence, a wreathe for each branch of the military was taken to a headstone that honors all fallen veterans.
Gary Normandin is a veteran himself, and a member of the Combat Vets Motorcycle Association.
He said there is no experience more humbling than carrying a wreathe to the grave.
"Coming here and honoring the personnel that paved the road for prior to us coming in, it's an honor, indeed," said Normandin.
When he looks at the one lone headstone, representing those heroes who have left us, he sees his brothers and sisters.
He says though he may have never known these individuals personally he feels a sense of connection.
"For me...it's a sense of pride that I'm a part of this. Not only because I've been deployed but because all of these people, the veterans that came before us, they're the ones that actually allow us the freedom to do what we want to do today," said Normandin.
He says when standing at a grave site, thoughts and images of his past deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan come flooding back.
"You never really get rid of the memories of what goes on and will continue to go on here. But it's a solemn experience. It just really makes you look at yourself and say hey, I understand what these other guys have been through and what they've done for their country and I'm here to honor them," said Normandin.
Local Wreathes Across America Director Karolyn Anders said veterans regardless of branch fend for each other both in and outside of war.
Starting last year she says her brother a military veteran pushed for a greater participation in the program after he felt fallen veterans were not being honored as they should be.
Two years ago she says only six wreathes were laid at Fort Sill's National cemetery in Elgin, and wanted to do something to change that.
"He made it his mission to identify as many veteran braves as possible within Comanche County. He identified over 9,000, took over 10,000 pictures in order to get it off the ground last year," said Anders.
Because of people like Anders brother Wreathes Across America unites veterans like him with millions of others across the country.
"It's neat...it's like being in the Army. You're a part of a big organization, doing a great thing for others," said Normandin.
This is the second year Comanche County has participated in wreathes across America.
Each year the program has continued to grow.

My Finances Of This Idea
I get a ton of people asking me for advice - so I'm posting this for other musicians (or anyone else) on understanding the finances of an online idea, or at least one angle of it. In 2006 no one could give me advice, so I learned as I went. I did a lot of things wrong, but that's part of the process, so let's jump into the pictures above.
Here are 2 screencaps showing all my sales from every store (Amazon, iTunes, etc.) from July 2010 - March 2012 as reported by my distributor, Tunecore. I have 6 numbers next to some of them, which I explain below.
In May 2009 I started "For Orchestra" after being laid off at a music award company. I had tried this idea back in 2006, but it failed. Having learned a lot from it all, I was determined to give it another shot while on unemployment.
On music arrangement #5 going into my 2nd month in June 2009, Perez Hilton blogged about my Lady Gaga 'Poker Face' For Orchestra. But having just starting this idea (and having no idea what to do or how he heard about it) I wasn't set up correctly and made virtually nothing in sales or subscribers. The following year goes by as I make a few dollars here and there and try different stores, setups, ideas, but nothing works. In June 2010, I made $1 on my first month after getting onto iTunes. This was a huge moment in my career - the first true $1, and the belief that this could be done. The nominal level (the average income per month) slowly raises to about $150, which is huge for me. My unemployment checks end, but I decide to keep at this idea while still looking for work.
So let's go over the points I marked in the pictures above:
1 - After 6 months of no growth I almost gave up on everything. Although my income rises to my highest ever at $192.99, I'm not convinced I'm getting enough growth to sustain, or that the next month would be profitable.
2 - Then on music arrangement #50, my Rebecca Black 'Friday' arrangement goes viral after Bob Lefsetz mentions me. Out of nowhere, my blog suddenly hits, and I go from making $150 a month to over $2,000 in one month. This causes sales of my entire back catalogue to get bought (Slayer, MGMT, Weezer, etc.) as well as a huge boost in subscribers and supporters. Of course I freak out, and after the traffic goes away I realize the nominal level is now $400 a month.
At this point, I knew $1,000/month was my goal. If I could make that, then I could sustain this idea and grow it.
3 - The following month the nominal level is incredibly high at $700 (probably from the overlap of the previous month) and then it settles back down to $400-$500 again for the following few months. It's a very dark time for me here because it's been a few years and I still couldn't understand what to do better as bills continue to pile up.
After searching for months, I finally find a job as an afterschool Music teacher in Brooklyn, NY to pay the bills and teach music to children. The school was great, the kids rocked, and they loved my music lessons. While there, I continue to attend every single music meetup there was in NY and beyond. I fly out around the country to every orchestra and music expo, write guest articles for every magazine, left comments on every blog, and answered every. single. solitary. fan. letter. possible.
Classical radio stations tell me I'm rock.
Rock stations tell me I'm classical.
Orchestras and friends tell me I'm crazy.
I couldn't get press or traction.
I couldn't tour.
I couldn't afford to make merchandise, physical CD's, or print sheet music. All I can afford was single downloads on iTunes, so I kept on doing that.
I refused to arrange music for companies because that would take my attention away from this idea.
I skip birthday parties, weddings, etc. - basically everything that I can't afford or time-manage.
I eat horribly, sleep little, and continue onward.
These are important because if you have an idea that you really believe in, then nothing should be unexpected. Almost every online musician, painter, comic, or start-up I talk to has gone through that.
Anyway, so I consider everything over the years: Which website CMS? Voting system similar to the Shorty Awards? Sheet Music? Licensing? How should I design a website like this? What pieces to cover? Is my arranging and production bad? Can the logo be sexier? Why aren't things working out faster? Will this work out at all?
Then, I decide to throw in the towel after Spotify launches in 2011. I slowly begin to convince myself that since single song downloads were my only income, Spotify will crush me. I then release 1 song per month and finally decide to give up.
4 - This is where things get Interesting, in September 2011 (music arrangement #80) The Hype Machine picks up my Daft Punk arrangements, Pokepress interviews me (for my Pokemon piece), CBS (for my Amy Winehouse tribute), and many more.
5 - The nominal level falls back down, but things are different than the previous $400 level from months ago. I can FEEL something different. Something is stirring, and I'm getting a community. Fans are becoming friends with each other, people are contacting me, and my arranging abilities make a huge improvement (from reading tons of books). Then, my Kickstarter fails to get funded, so I'm unsure how to continue. Friends tell me to keep going, and my parents demand I don't give up on my dream.
6 - On music arrangement #110, the nominal level finally raises well above $700, and I move from Wordpress to Tumblr. I make $100 on Bandcamp (which is a good sign since it's my highest income there ever), and I begin to see something magical starting to happen. I put in my 2 weeks notice at my afterschool music job, end my lease in NYC (I had attended every event I needed to, and couldn't afford NYC anymore anyway.) I move in with my parents so I can tackle this dream without any distractions.
And now, the past 4 weeks have by far been my best ever, although I have no hard proof yet. But I can FEEL it. I think this is going to work out.
A few notes: I was using E-Junkie before I switched to Bandcamp/Tunecore. So all that data isn't here, although it was minimal sales and I was doing everything wrong, as you can see from my first month in sales above.
This chart is simply my gross, not net income. Other expenses musicians will have to consider: I pay 9.1% of all sales to the original artist (because I arrange cover songs), 30% to iTunes/Amazon/etc., website fees, copyright, taxes, mail, rent, medical bills, replacing things that break, travel, phone, internet, food, and more.
I may make $800 for 2 consecutive months for the first time, since starting this idea in 2006 (and "For Orchestra" in 2009). And that's important to mention - because trends are more important than spikes. I never cared about traffic jumps. A lot of musicians, Etsy artists, eBay sellers, directors, etc. have to be patient, and I hope they see this and it helps them understand and motivate them.
I've learned that there's no real way to understand how the internet works. All you can do is just keep at it. I suppose one thing that would help, is to be part of a group. It also helps to have a theme and schedule time of deployment. It also helps to keep doing something for 6 years until you get traction.
The most important thing, though, is that I always cared more about community than numbers - even when I was barely swimming above water. When I was in Denver, I hung out with @rtondreau, a fan since day 1. When I was in Minnesota last year I met up with a bunch of fans and we all had a blast. It just felt good for us to be part of something - like a secret club.
It's been a crazy 6 years. Thanks all for your support, and I hope this has helped someone wanting some insight or motivation on an idea of theirs.
Anyway, Tumblr won't allow me to answer comments on my own post, but we can use the Disqus comments at the bottom for that. Or go ahead and message me any questions you want. I will do my best to answer every. single. solitary. one.

Topic - Everest Base Camp & Mera Peak
Tivida - on 06 Aug 2013
Hi all,
I'm off to Everest Base Camp in Nepal on October 11, stopping in Dubai for a weekend before hitting Kathmandu with the intention of starting the trek on October 16th, which allows us two days to get fully organised in Kathmandu.
I'm travelling with three friends who are all doing the trek. I expect it to take 14 days and my intention is to approach Everest Base Camp via the sacred lakes of Goyko and over the Cho La pass. I've been to Everest before in 2009 so am familiar with the area. However we may hire a guide to traverse the Cho La as there are several valleys to get lost in.
After the trek my three friends are heading home but I intend to stay on and wish to attempt a summit of Mera Peak. For this I need a partner, climbing guide, porters and permit so I'm on the lookout for someone who has similar plans and would be keen to come along and also to share costs. The permit alone is $400 and can take up to four people.
Mera Peak itself is classified as a treking peak and is known as a good introduction to high altitude mountaineering. It is 6,400m above sea level.
Anyway I am not always on here but will pop in from time to time to see if anyone is interested. Best way to get me is put a friend request through Facebook -Derek Larney or email me larneyd at tcd dot ie

The Positive Beat Continues for the Airlines
Mark is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Only a month ago this article theorized that airlines might finally be investable. Fortunately both Delta Airlines (NYSE: DAL) and US Airways Group (NYSE: LCC) obliged the theory by reporting strong Q1 earnings. A quarter that is typically the weakest actually turned solidly profitable for two of the market leaders. In fact, Delta claimed the highest profit in over a decade.
Unless new competition comes out of left field or the unions get greedy by not being able to resist claiming a portion of all earnings gains, the sector could be poised for a golden decade.
Strong earnings from Delta
Delta reported a $124 million improvement in net income over last year by recording a net profit of $0.10 for Q1 2013. The company also generated $1.1 billion of operating cash flow and $457 million of free cash flow -- an incredible turnaround from an industry that not only struggles with yearly profits and typically has a dismal first quarter.
The numbers were solidly above the analyst estimates of a profit of $0.06. Passenger revenue only increased by $107 million or 1.4%, but the company along with the sector continues to see operational improvements as passenger unit revenue (PRASM) increased by a solid 4.1%.
Analysts forecast earnings of around $2.60 this year increasing to $3 next year. Based on Q1 results, the stock is extremely cheap as the company easily surpassed earnings in the most difficult period of the year. As an example, analysts expect earnings jumping to $0.95 for the next quarter. These numbers have a higher probability of reaching the high-end estimate of $1.07 unless the furlough issue trips up the friendly skies.
Strong earnings from US Airways
US Airways reported earnings of $55 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. This number easily surpassed analyst estimates of $0.28. The company is off to a solid start prior to the merger with AMR Corp. (NASDAQOTH: AAMRQ.PK) scheduled to conclude in the third quarter. As with the sector and normal of an airline at any period, it lost $0.13 in the first quarter last year.
The company reported record load factors that should only improve with the consolidation of American Airlines. While first quarter revenue increased at a 3.4% clip, the difference maker is that efficiency increased as available seat miles only increased by 1.3%. The increased efficiency allowed the small revenue increase turn the small loss last year into a $77 million improvement this year.
Analysts forecast the company earning roughly $3 this year making the stock extremely cheap based on the ability to beat earnings going forward.
Fuel costs the key
A major key to substantial gains in the sector would be large drop in the price of jet fuel. As an example, US Airways spent $1.13 billion on aircraft fuel in Q1. That amounts to 33% of the revenue spent on what most people consider a commodity. Even with all the advanced technologies that Boeing puts into the latest airplanes, the airlines currently spend substantially more money on fuel. US Airways only spent $320 million directly on airplane maintenance and rent and possibly another $100 million via the Express segment for a total of $420 million.
A dramatic decline in fuel costs would lead to short-term profit surges for the airlines.
At only 5-6x current year earnings estimates, the airline stocks are cheap especially if the sector has made a dramatic shift toward a focus on profits. The first-quarter reports from Delta Airlines and US Airways were very promising that the industry profit shift is legitimate. It remains to be seen whether the smaller regional plays will get more aggressive or if the unions will begin demanding more spoils from the profits fountain as in the past.
The sector has become a potential home run investment, but any investor needs to keep one eye on the news. Any day the alarms could go off as some billionaire gets the bright idea of starting up a major competitor. Load up on the stocks until that happens.

Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado has been diagnosed with a torn knee ligament one day after being taken off the field on a stretcher, but could possibly be back to running as early as six weeks.
Machado's injury is apparently not as serious as it looked on Monday, when he was carted off the field during a road game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The All-Star's left knee buckled when he stepped awkwardly on first base
The Orioles announced Tuesday that Machado has a torn medial patellofemoral ligament -- not a more serious ACL or MCL tear, both of which could have sidelined him for months.
Estimated healing time for the injury is six-to-eight weeks, the team said.
Machado, 21, hit .283 with 14 home runs, 71 RBI, an American League-leading 51 doubles and a .314 on-base percentage in his first full major league season.
Prior to the injury, Machado had played in 207 straight games since his major league debut last year, including 156 this season.

Viera, FL (Sports Network) - Drew Smyly threw five strong innings to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 4-3 victory over the Washington Nationals in a spring training clash.
Smyly limited the Nationals to one run on four hits while striking out five without a walk. The left-hander received offensive support from Prince Fielder and Victor Martinez, both of whom went 2-for-3 for the game and delivered RBI singles off Stephen Strasburg during a two-run fifth inning.
Matt Tuiasosopo added a solo home run for Detroit.
Strasburg worked six innings and was touched for three runs on seven hits while striking out five.
Ian Desmond had a solo homer and scored twice for the Nationals, with Jayson Werth finishing 2-for-4 in the loss.

Far too often, someone's notebook gets nicked and you hear the phrase "I don't care about the computer; it's the data I'll miss." But the laboured hours don't have to go to waste thanks to portable hard drives and cloud storage solutions. Entering this densely populated market is Seagate's new BackUp Plus range, and we put it through the ringer to find out what innovations it brings and if it's worth your hard earned money.
The top of the drive has been dressed with brushed aluminium which looks and feels nice, but beyond its façade, Seagate resort to lightweight plastic. It's available in black, white, blue, red and silver, with all of the colours nominating white plastic apart from the black option, which sticks with the one colour.
The included 18 inch cable is coloured according to the plastic and is just the right length. It's also compatible with FireWire 800 and Thunderbolt adapters, but both are sold separately.
The drive itself is small, lightweight and very practical. It measures just 14.5mm thin and weighs 224 grams. It's short enough to fit in your jacket pocket with little intrusion and is reminiscent of a chunky passport.
Seagate is looking to bridge the advantages of cloud storage with its own tangible solution by offering 4GB of free Nero cloud access for a year. Your cloud account can be accessed from the dashboard and acts as a safety net by backing up precious files and folders in the event your hard drive is lost, stolen or damaged. Saving your files to the cloud is easy enough complements of the simplistic software, detailed further below.
Seagate requires users to register an account with them before they gain access to their cloud storage.
Your Backup Plus drive and cloud account is managed via Seagate's Dashboard software. The easy to use and clean interface is characterised by a few large icons and corresponding labels that aid in effortless navigation.
In the top right hand corner, there are two icons—Backup Plus and Cloud—which will direct you to an overview of either one. These icons are ever-present no matter where you are throughout the menu.
The home screen has been broken down into three easy-to-digest parts:
The first is "protect" and manages your backup plans. Files can be backed up once (snapshot), monthly, weekly, daily, hourly or continuously, to either your cloud account or drive. There's also the option of nominating which folders you want backed up (pictures, videos, music, etc) or any other custom folder of your choice.
It is worth noting that "protect" is only available for Windows users as Apple's OS X relies on the default Time Machine.
The "share" heading allows you to upload images and videos to Facebook, Flickr and YouTube, circumventing the tedious task of uploading your photos one by one.
The final option is "save" and lets users backup their photos from Facebook and Flickr to your computer's drive, but users can nominate a location on their Seagate drive, with the automatic backup syncing them with Seagate's cloud if configured.
Beneath the relevant account is an auto save feature that downloads new files automatically.
Seagate's Dashboard is a driving force behind the BackUp Plus' success. The software is bare bone easy and even the technologically-ill can use it with confidence.
The BackUp Plus makes use of USB 3.0 technology—renowned for transferring data ten times quicker than USB 2.0—and is ideal for transferring large data files quickly.
When transferring a 909MB video via run-of-the-mill USB 2.0, the transfer's top speed was 136MB/s and slowed down to 58MB/s.
Transferring the same file over USB 3.0 hit a transfer speed of 837MB/s and slowed down to 211MB/s. At that rate, it took just two seconds to transfer.
Our 500MB review unit cam with 465MB of free space. Like all memory devices, the missing memory (35MB, 7%) has been allocated to recovery software, installation kits and tutorial videos (of which, the latter can be deleted). Losing 7% of your drive isn't ideal, but the BackUp Plus' competitors suffer from the same imperfection.
This is a great portable hard drive versed in the prompt transfer of files and optimised through idiot-proof software. The ability to back up your digital life (Facebook, Flickr) is an option envied by its rivals and gives it the deal-making advantage.

Fight Colorectal Cancer is engaged in advocacy efforts all year long. Our capstone event, Call-on Congress, takes place each March; however, our team introduces bills, sends letters of support, develops policy summaries and submits testimonials to speak out on issues impacting colorectal cancer patients on an ongoing basis.
With the focus of representing our fighters on the Hill, we set priorities that will impact patients and prevent colorectal cancer. Our board members set our legislative priorities annually based on relevant issues facing patients and their family members.
Please see below for our current legislative priorities. Each legislative priority is weighted equally and order of appearance does not equal importance of issue.

The design debate: Art versus science
4 comments post a comment
Ask a chip designer if the work he or she does is an art or a science and you will more than likely hear the former. But Naveed Sherwani, the outspoken president and CEO of fabless ASIC vendor Open-Silicon Inc., takes issue with that. "I believe it is a science," he said over lunch recently.
Sherwani believes that if the industry had accepted that design was a science 10 years ago (and treated it as such), the industry would be in better shape today and the design process would be a lot shorter.
Why? Sherwani argues that chip design is complicated, but can be broken down into steps. It can employ prescribed, documented methodologies that dictate the manner in which a device is designed. Some argue that this type of methodology restricts designer freedom and creativity.
But Sherwani says a scientific approach means less reliance on "rock star" designers who have the skills and know how to do great designs, but no motivation to share their methods with others. With multiple people trained to do various parts of a design, each should be able to do work of the same quality, he argues.
Sherwani points out that chip manufacturing (which he argues is 10 times more complicated than design) adopted the mentality two decades ago that it was a science and has thrived since. While the industry has continually refined manufacturing and constantly pushed the technology envelope, advanced on the design side have been much less pronounced, he says.

After the governor announced the end of his campaign, journalists and pundits were waiting in the wings with their Perry obits. Slate's David Weigel was on hand in the "tiny, overstuffed and overheated" room at the Hyatt where the Perry campaign ended. Weigel wrote that Perry's press aides—who hung around after the speech to "feed the vultures"—were cagey about the governor's next move:
When I asked Perry's campaign manager Rob Johnson if, say, we'd see Perry spinning for Gingrich after tonight's debate, he smiled and said 'show up.'
Katon Dawson, who pounded the pavement in South Carolina with Perry, found a bogeyman in the liberal press. "We were victims of a drive-by shooting by the liberal press," he told Weigel.
Perry's aides, who did say the governor would return to Texas over the weekend, indicated that Perry has no intention of leaving his current job. "As you know we don't have term limits in Texas," Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan told reporters in a post-speech presser, the Texas Tribune 's Jay Root tweeted, along with the hashtag #perry2014.
RedState's Erick Erickson —who on Wednesday called on Perry to drop out of the race —was cheered by the news that Perry had done just that: "Looks like we have a race now," he wrote.
Democratic consultant Paul Begala shed no tears over Perry's exit from the race. "Adios, mofo," he wrote in the Daily Beast :
The pride of Texas A&M can now slink back home, defeated and disgraced, where he can try to explain to the lobbyists and billionaires who funded his campaign how he squandered a huge fortune and blew a big lead. ... He earned the support of just 14,323 voters—a good turnout for a Texas high-school football game, but piss poor for a presidential campaign rolling in dough.
(According to current fundraising totals, which will rise, Perry spent at least $1,477 per vote.)
The American Prospect 's Abby Rapoport wondered what Perry's future in Texas will look like:
Will Perry come back the humbled bully, eager to work to leave Texas in a better fiscal state? Or will he, as some opponents fear, come down hard on his enemies, and reassert what power he still has?
She concludes that Perry may try to make amends and redefine himself to put some distance between him and his blusters on the campaign trail "So it seems to me that Texas might find itself with a Rick Perry who's less eager to exact vengeance," she writes.
Jim Hightower, Perry's predecessor as agriculture commissioner, told the Los Angeles Times ' Molly Hennessy-Fiske Perry had "embarrassed us enough. ... Finally someone clobbered him on the head with a two-by-four and said, 'It's over'. It was possible Stephen Colbert was going to outdo him."
Snark abounded on Twitter after the announcement. Paula Poundstone pointed out some internal contradiction's in Perry's speech on Twitter:
Rick Perry said, 'What we need in Washington is a place that is more humble,' and then he endorsed Newt Gingrich. Thank you, Tweedle-Dee.
Jeopardy champion Ken Jennings quipped "Rick Perry currently sitting in a large antler-decorated room on some estate named for a racial slur, getting blackout drunk."
Others seemed eager to rub some balm on Perry's wounds. David Langford, a Georgia teenager, reminded Perry to take solace in his other accomplishments:
You may not be President Rick Perry but you will always be a fighter jet pilot!
LouisianaPatriette was devastated, tweeting: "Spent half of @GovernorPerry's speech crying. He is a true patriot. I am honored to have supported him, will never ever regret it." ( Daily Intel 's Dan Amira rounded up thirteen other heartbroken reactions from around Twitter.)
While Perry's Twitter account remained silent, Griffin Perry, who glumly stood behind his father as he spoke Thursday, sent forth this tweet less than an hour later: "Thank you to everyone that supported dad through this journey. We are all humbled by the opportunity. God Bless America."
(Missed Perry's speech? The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has the full transcript and KUT has the audio. Want to relive all 159 days of the Perry campaign? The Texas Tribune has a detailed, interactive timeline of his rise and fall and NPR's Corey Dade has a recap in prose.)

Flea Time In Nicaragua
Not happy, but tolerated the baths with flea shampoo well.
Yari and Shelley doing the honors; I don't have the touch. One cat and three kittens, and only one half-hearted bite. These guys know who butters their bread.
Fleas showed up all of a sudden, probably brought over by that rangy yellow tomcat next door who sneaks over every night to load up on my cats' chow.
There is a skunk trap and a distant relocation in his future . . .I hope he has family in Dplito .
There is also revolution https://www.revolution4cats.com/default.aspx?sec=Product%20Overview here. It works on Fleas---but not ticks! Where as Frontline + works on fleas and ticks.
With frontline--the animal must stay dry at least 24 hrs after application for it to be effective. With our dogs, we apply it every 3 weeks. Just make sure u buy the one for cats!!!
Another prooduct
is used to fumigate the house. I wish I could remember the name. You just pour a little into a litter of water and let it work. I usually used this mixture to mop the floor. I don't know if that is the way it should be used, but it seems to work well. I had a tick infestation a few years ago. The vet also told me I could used this to bathe the animals, but I never have tried that.
1st Capt. Ron
(Title by Miskito Alan)
spray frequently with cipermitrina (1cc per litro for everything and 5 cc per litro for exterior walls) for zancudos and noticed flea and ant populations crashed as well. I pay particulat attention to spraying were the dogs sleep and lounge outside the house and around the doors and laundry area.

To extract as much color and texture from the grapes as possible, we press the fruit whole-cluster before introducing it to open-top fermenters. Punch downs are performed several times each day. When fermentation is complete, we place our wine into small French oak barrels for about a year to mature and develop, racking it once or twice during this period. 2011 delivered highly perfumed fruit with good concentration due to lower yields this vintage. Rich and silky on the palate, our Pinot Noir flaunts a beautiful perfume of strawberries, raspberries and anise followed by luscious flavors of cherries and pomegranate with nuances of cloves and vanilla
toasted oak. The flavors build and linger for a sensuous finish.
