Twin boy and girl due 1/3/2013
May 21st for us! Was going to be next Monday but DH will be out of town for work.
Time has slowed to a snail's pace...
T + T + Lovebug = 3!
Mine is May 25th. Feels like a big waiting game now.
All this time I have been asking a thousand questions. I have had to call the dr 3 times because I have been relying on the web for answers and not all questions are a definite yes or no.
I understand they typically do not want to see you until about 8 weeks but there is some critical development happening now and I hope i am not doing anything wrong. I think I am doing everything right but I am new at this - you never know.
I think as soon as we all get our 1st appt out of the way we will feel better.
My appt. is May 14th. After reading everyone else's I feel like I'm going too soon. I've had some reproductive problems though so I just want to go and make sure everything is okay as soon as possible.
Mine is June 6th, on which I'll be 8 weeks and 1 day. I might try to reschedule for the week prior. :) Can't wait and am trying to keep busy til then! I emailed my doctor today once just a line or two about a question. I bet this is common for dr's to get a lot of questions from first time moms, but hey, I figure it's part of their job to answer our questions- that's why they get paid the big bucks, lol. :) I'm sure they like helping too.
Good luck!
I scheduled mine today for May 30. I'll be 7 wks 4 days. Im using a birth center so I was surprised they had scheduled it so early. I had thought they wouldn't see me until at least 10 weeks because thats what the midwife had said at orientation but the receptionist today said between 8-10 weeks.
Carrie (35) DH (36) DD (Jan13')
My appt is way early (May 11th) but it's just for blood work to verify positive pregnancy. I'm sure a real appt won't be until 8-10 wks.
Congrats to you all!

Indigenous is an American blues-rock group that came to prominence in the late 1990s. The band originally consisted of two brothers, Mato Nanji (Maiari) ('mah-TOE non-GEE' vocals and guitar, born 1974), Pte ('peh-TAY' bass guitar), along with their sister, Wanbdi ('wan-ba-DEE' drums, vocals), and their cousin, Horse (percussion).
Their music is heavily influenced by guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, as well as Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana. Mato Nanji's style and skill has drawn comparisons to each of these guitarists. The band has also shared the stage with artists of varying musical genres such as B.B. King, Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Joan Baez, the Indigo Girls, Jackson Browne, Dave Matthews Band, and Los Lonely Boys. The band has headlined its own tours several times.
The Nakota Nation members grew up on South Dakota's Yankton Indian Reservation, where their father, Greg Zephier became a spokesperson for Native American rights. A musician in his own right during the 1960s and '70s, Zephier provided his children with records from blues musicians such as B.B. King, Buddy Guy, and Freddie King, and taught them to play their respective instruments. The family started touring together, and soon the children were performing on their own.
Musical career[edit]
The group released their debut album, Things We Do on Pachyderm Records in 1998. In 1999, Indigenous won three Native American Music Awards for their debut record, including two top honors: Album of the Year and Group of the Year. A video for the lead single and title track was directed by
The track "Now That You're Gone" peaked at #22 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, making Indigenous one of the first Native American bands to break into that realm. Amazon.com named the band Blues Artist of the Year, and soon after they were featured on broadcast shows such as NPR's "All Things Considered", "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "CBS Saturday Morning," and "Austin City Limits". B.B. King became a self-proclaimed fan, and invited the band to join his Blues Festival Tour.
Later that year, Indigenous released an EP, Blues This Morning, and a full-length album, Live at Pachyderm Studios in 1999, and continued the momentum. Live at Pachyderm won two Native American Music Awards for Best Blues Album and Group of the Year in 2000. Their next LP, Circle, settled into place in Billboard's Top 10 blues albums after its release in 2000.
Following this was the 2003 self-titled album, Indigenous (Zomba), and then another EP, Long Way Home in 2005 (on their own record label). This seven-song EP contains five originals, as well as an acoustic version of a song from Things We Do, "Rest Of My Days", and a live version of their first single, "Things We Do". After recording their 2006 album, Chasing the Sun (Vanguard) the band split. Mato carried on with the Indigenous name and toured with a new line-up that included bassist Chaney Bryant and drummer Ray Mehlbaum in support of the album. In 2008 Mato wrote and recorded the album "Broken Lands" which was released on August 12, 2008. Most recently, the band released "The Acoustic Sessions" on June 8, 2010.
"Time is Coming" (2014) proved to be one of Mato Nanji's best recordings so far. It is described in reviews as "closer to rock than blues."[1] This follows the last CD entitled "Vanishing Americans"(2012) that paid special homage to Mato father, Greg Zephier, Sr. It is dedicated to indigenous youth and all young people on indigenous reservations.[2] His 10th commercial album, Vanishing Americans, released on Blues Bureau International, a division of the Shrapnel Record Group, is yet another testament to the master songwriter/guitarist and lyricist's long-running commercially successful career. The CD is stunning evidence of his growth, enhanced, and ever-improving vocals, song writing, and guitar playing and is sure to WOW even his staunchest music fans. It won the Native American Music Award's "Album of the Year" award in 2014. The CD honored Greg, who was a well known and highly respected spiritual advisor and spokesperson for the International Indian Treaty Council, an organization based in New York City near the United Nations (UN) that represents over 175 Indigenous Red "Indian" Nations and Peoples across Great Turtle Island (the "western hemisphere"). Nanji said about Greg, "he was my favorite musician...I just felt it was time to pay tribute to him and his band."[3]
Greg's "Indian Name" - who he was - was "Yankton Boy", while son Mato Nanji's is "Standing Bear", in honor of his famous great grandfather (on his mother, Beverly's Ponca Nation side) of the same name, who went to court in the late 1800s to prove "Indians were human beings" in the eyes of the court and in the eyes of the American people. On May 12, 1879, federal judge in Omaha, Nebraska ruled that "an Indian is a person" within the meaning of habeas corpus. The federal government had failed to show a basis under law for the Standing Bear's arrest and captivity. It was a landmark case in America, recognizing that an indigenous "Indian" is a "person" - a human being.
Greg Zephier was an influential indigenous peoples activist and also happened to be a musical genius. He was the guiding and founding member of his group of his brothers - who he taught to play all the instruments of a band, called "The Vanishing Americans." The band toured nationally in the '60's and early '70's, playing on the same bills which included legends such as Bonnie Raitt. The music Vanishing Americans performed back then heavily influenced Mato and his love of music. While Nanji isn't quick to label his sound to any particular genre, the influence of the sounds of Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Carols Santana are undeniable. But ultimately it's all about the music. "It all goes back to what my dad taught me. He never said: Oh, this is blues, this is rock. He just said: If this is good music, it's good."
Mato's latest three albums were Broken Lands, 2008, The Acoustic Sessions, 2010, and Indigenous featuring Mato Nanji, 2012, were evidence of his continued growth and ever-growing-expertise in writing and playing music.
Nanji has also been a member of the Jimi Hendrix tribute, Experience Hendrix, since its inception in 2004, touring annually with the group. This past January, Mato even performed at the American Indian Inaugural Ball to welcome in the newly elected President of the United States. "The Americans have their leaders, too." stated Nanji.
The past two years have turned out to be very busy years for Mato and Indigenous. In addition to a successful tour supporting his last album Indigenous featuring Mato Nanji, and the Experience Hendrix tribute tour, he also recorded two compilation albums with fellow musicians from the Experience Hendrix tour. Three Skulls & the Truth with David Hidalgo of Los Lobos and Luther Dickinson of North Mississippi All-Stars was released in September 2012 by Blues Bureau International.
Mato was the primary influence of Otis Taylor's latest 2013 CD release, My World Is Gone in which he appears singing and playing on six of the beautifully Taylor-written album's thirteen tracks. Nanji also toured with Otis in support of the album release this past March. In support of the latest Jimi Hendrix release, "People, Hell & Angels", Nanji appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on March 12, 2013 along with his fellow Experience Hendrix tour alums and blues greats including Buddy Guy, Billy Cox, Chris Layton, Brad Whitford and Marty Sammon. Mato continues each year touring with the "Experience Hendrix" tour.
But this "VA" album of all pays special tribute to Yankton Boy, whose wisdom and instruction in not only music but in life itself has led Mato to the precipice of his music career. It celebrates a father teaching his son to hunt, to master tools, and to provide for his family, to be responsible to himself, his wife, and his children as Mato was instructed by his father. And more importantly, the new album draws attention to the ongoing plight of Indigenous Red "Indian" Nations and Peoples against the onslaught of "European progress" and its devastation and depletion of the sacred water, land and resources of Great Turtle Island, the "western hemisphere."
"VA" celebrates the successful - despite the world's most overwhelming odds - survival of Indigenous Peoples. From 100 million flourishing, content, and peace-loving human "Two Legged" beings, diminished to barely 1 million by the year 1890; from attempts to being forced into "U.S citizenship" and being "American" in 1934; and then fighting back and regaining indigenous nationhood and preserving a nearly lost Way of Life thanks to people like Yankton Boy who discarded his "American" label to return to his "Ihanktunwan Nation" - his Indigenous roots.
This album celebrates, draws attention to, and worships, the sacred lives of the 100 million Bison, 100 million Elk, 100 million Deer, 100 million Eagles, and 100 million Antelope nations who, 524 years prior, were so traumatically and drastically murdered by European invasion and subsequent occupation that educed and nearly annihilated these most precious Animal Nations that Indigenous Peoples revere and look up to for guidance and spiritual contentment. Vanishing as an "American", Greg Zephier, through his steadfast work and dedication, saved his son from the dominating society's lack of reverence for natural life and the lack of respect of the natural world. Greg's teaching thrusted Mato into the world of the past, where understanding, appreciation, and respect leads daily living.
A citizen of the Nakota Nation, Mato grew up on the Yankton Sioux Indian Reservation in what is now called "South Dakota." The Ihanktunwan DaNakota are the caretakers of the sacred Red Pipestone (misnomer "peace pipe" bowl) Quarries in southwestern Minnesota. The Ihanktunwan originated from within the sacred quarry site, coming forth from there as human "Two Legged" beings 63 million years ago - the Red Man's "Adam and Eve garden of Eden." Today the Red Stone is an Endangered Species - being used for other trinketry instead of its sole purpose, Red Stone for the Canunpa.
While heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Carlos Santana and the like, Mato's biggest influence was his father. "My dad was my biggest influence as a musician. He never forced me into being a musician: I just found his guitars", says Mato. "At the time, I knew he was a guitar player and singer, but I didn't know he had been a traveling musician. He never really bragged about anything. Yet he was one of the best musicians I've come across."
Nanji further recalls, "When I got started, my dad gave me a guitar and tuned it once, then told me to start figuring it out. I started spending tons of time listening to his records, and have listened to and learned from a lot of different people from Howlin' Wolf to Pearl Jam, but my biggest influence is still my dad. And the big thing he told me is to find my own sound by taking what I like from everyone and mixing it all together."
And Mato Nanji has done just that - learning all the tricks of the trade from dad, the great spiritual advisor and mentor - from the man men respect and admire, resulting in a truly fantastic album of his truly unique signature Indigenous Blues Rock sound.
Greg Zephier/Yankton Boy "Greg Zephier, Sr.", was a great historian and Treaty spokesperson, an expert orator or "itancan" ("expert", misnomer "chief"). He was one of a handful of prominent indigenous statesmen of the 20th century, like that of Phillip Deer, Creek Nation, and Mathew King, Lakota Nation. Greg Zephier, Sr. traveled to the United Nations in New York City and Geneva Switzerland on numerous occasions to speak on behalf of the Red Man, as well as traveling to Russia, Japan, and Germany.
Yankton Boy drew attention to the plight of Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples against the onslaught of "European progress" and its devastation and depletion of the sacred water, land, trees, animals, insects, and resources of Great Turtle Island, as well as their continuing violation of the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie and Article VI of the US Constitution. Carrying on his father's tradition as father and mentor, Mato Nanji (born June 4, 1974) and wife Leah make their home on the Yankton Sioux Reservation in south eastern South Dakota.
Mato was raised for many years in the country at the Sun Dance Grounds along Seven Mile Creek near Marty, SD, riding horses and enjoying the fresh air of the beautiful Yankton Nakota Homelands. Mato was home schooled briefly - only attending the "white man schools" for a few early years of his youth - yet mastering English and corporate business practices, all while maintaining a traditional, indigenous outlook on life. His lovely wife, Leah, has co-written the last few Indigenous albums with Mato and provides the fantastic back up vocals on many of the Indigenous albums, most notably "Broken Lands". They have successfully raised and provided for five beautiful children
The band continues to tour, adding the group "The Plateros" of the Navajo Dine Nation.

Bond fans line up for iconic 'Goldeneye' bungee jump at Switzerland's Contra Dam
Thrill seekers have lined up to bungee jump at Switzerland's 720ft high iconic Contra Dam, where James Bond's stunt in 'Goldeneye' was filmed.
According to a Swiss tourism spokesman, the jump that costs 170 pounds was an unforgettable experience that gave out the feel of being James Bond, the Mirror reported.
He added that people "loved the thrill" of the jump, which was originally performed by stuntman Wayne Michaels, standing in for Brosnan, who took over the role from Timothy Dalton.

Marcus Mariota and Tyler Johnstone celebrate as Oregon defeats UCLA 42-14 in a battle of nationally ranked Pac-12 college football teams.
- Filed Under
Oregon sophomore quarterback Marcus Mariota remains in frontrunner status for the Heisman Trophy.
Heading into week 10 of the college football season, it appears to be a two-man race between Mariota and redshirt freshman quarterback Jameis Winston of Florida State. They are one-two according to the USA Today Sports' Heisman survey and the Heisman Pundit Heisman Watch.
Mariota, who completed all 10 of his second-half passes in last Saturday's 42-14 victory against then-No. 12 UCLA, has thrown for 2,281 yards (64.0 percent) and 20 touchdowns with no interceptions, and run for 511 yards ...

Beach hoarding case spurs co-ordination effort by city
Spurred by a high-profile hoarding incident in the Beach this past summer, the City of Toronto is hiring two full-time staff to co-ordinate the response to extreme cases.
Wearing Hazmat gear, a team of OSPCA inspectors trapped several cats and cleaned up debris at a Beech Avenue home in September after neighbours complained of a strong urine smell.
Ward 32 Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon said several city agencies were involved, including Toronto fire inspectors who had dealt with hoarding problems at the property for more than five years.
"What we found was that some people in some departments were connecting, and others were not," said McMahon, who brought forward the council motion to create the co-ordinating office together with Eglinton-Lawrence Councillor Josh Colle. McMahon said councillors in just about every ward of the city have faced similar problems.
On Christmas Day, a man in his 60s died after a two-alarm fire broke out in his Queen Street East apartment. Fire officials said shortly afterwards that the apartment was cluttered, making it hard to find him.
"The people we are dealing with are very vulnerable," said McMahon, adding that hoarding is not the black-and-white issue many people perceive it to be.
Felicea Nobile agrees.
Nobile co-chairs the Durham Region Hoarding Coalition, which four years ago began co-ordinating 33 city and social services agencies in Durham, ranging from bylaw officers to children's aid, landlords to public health workers.
"With hoarding, you can't do it all at once," Nobile said. While evictions or forced clean-ups are necessary in cases where people are seriously at risk, she said a hard-line approach often means problems simply happens again later.
"It takes time," she said. "Sometimes it's hard just getting in the house."
In one case, Nobile said case workers in Durham met a person at their front door several times over a six-month period before they established trust and were invited inside to help.
"You have to work with these individuals," Nobile said, adding that ideally, there would be dedicated mental health or social workers who can do follow-up visits. But funding such positions is difficult, she said.
James Hind, a fire inspector in London, Ontario, said funding is an issue there as well. Few agencies can do free clean-ups or provide case workers, either for lack of funds or because the person with the hoarding problem refuses help.
Hind said his job has been made easier since he began working together with a mental health worker, who can give the long-term attention needed to avoid "repeat customers."
A 2009 study of problem hoarding in Melbourne, Australia found 70 per cent of cases involved people 50 or older, and that clothes, letters, bills, books and magazines are the most commonly hoarded items.
The study includes a survey of 48 hoarding-related fires, and found that more fire fighters and pumpers were required to put out those fires, on average, which were also more likely to spread through multiple rooms given all the combustible material.

As someone who was a close longtime friend to the 'man in his sixties who died in a two alarm fire on Christmas day' I need to point out a few things. One of the first newspaper articles published regarding this fire was inaccurate. It was disgusting enough to have a wonderful funny unique individual be reduced and inpersonalized by the label "elderly hoarder" but to read that he had been badly burned ( which was completely false) just further illustrated that reporting the news is about sensationalizing events and attracting readers.
The fire fighters commented that it was difficult to get to him. Yes, no doubt, his apartment was crowded and not set up to accommodate fire gear, hoses and a crowd of firefighters. As someone who has been in his apartment hundreds of times, I'm again frustrated at how things get twisted around in order to make a point, regardless of truth. In my opinion, this tragedy was reported with such a lack of integrity and full of vague generalizations. The area where the fire started was the kitchen, he was found on his bedroom floor, which is located beside the kitchen. Speculation based on reports is that he awoke to the fire, undoubtedly panicked ( which would probably cause one to gasp and or hyperventilate)and as the coroner explained, 'as little as two deep inhales of smoke is enough to disorient anyone'. He was dead by the time they reached him, not because he was a hoarder but because his kitchen was on fire with flames consuming all the cabinets above the stove and sink area. There was no where for the smoke to escape. If house and apartment fires that resulted in death were statistically only caused by hoarders then this whole issue would have validity but as we all know that isn't the case. People die as a result of fire/smoke inhalation from a myriad of situations period.
A man died. His name was Jack Kwinter. He was an incredible quirky man that I loved very much and who was loved by so many people. A man who always had my back, made me laugh, drove me nuts, believed in me, supported me, nurtured me when I was down and was a true friend. One of the last times I sat with him in that kitchen, he made me toast and tea while I moaned and complained about something trivial. A lot of things have become trivial compared to the pain of losing my friend. He was my confidant, my number one fan and a huge reason that I am all the great things I am today. You cannot go wrong when you have that much love in your corner.
To make this about hoarding is simply ridiculous and very sad.
Tara Danard
Thank you Tara for writing so eloquently, and unfortunately, in elegy of a man who was indeed a collector of great artifacts and artistic treasures, but the greatest of all these were the many treasures of the heart Jack Kwinter amassed, being so widely beloved and respected a human being. He deserves much better than being deemed faceless and problematic. I'd say that it was a tough call for any firefighter to fit into that apartment, it was designed to be 'cozy,' the haught curb appeal word for 'small.' Anyone with tons of gear would have a hard time fitting into Jack's place. Wish he and his cat Stinky were still with us. Jack was more alive than most, and the world is a sadder place without him.
Thank you for saying that. I was so angry at the news articles. They made it seem as if he was some reclusive hoarding freakshow. He was so incredible, so alive, the funniest person Ive ever met. He was kind, crazy, unique and so full of zest. He took me under his wing when I was maybe 16. He gave me so much love and acceptance and changed my life for the better. I remember back when John Lennon died and I made this stupid comment that Yoko Ono was acting as if her grief was so much more intense than anyone elses. I thought-grief is grief and loss feels the same to everyone. Pfft. Well, I was wrong. Ive had friends die, family members, acquaintances etc and nothing has hurt me as deeply, felt as painful and gut wrenching as losing Jack.
There really are no words.
Hi Tara with the holidays approaching my thoughts turned to last years horrible xmas Im sorry for that loss I guess I was getting nostalgic because its Halloween and I think of the Roxy and everybody I miss you
Hi Steve. It's true thoughts of the holidays now will always include Jack I wonder what he would say about that? Wish he was here to tell us.
Hi Steve, thank you for that. Ya its really hard seeing so many things that trigger my pain. The christmas lights, even snow, sounds of sirens, pretty much everything. Thanks Steve. xo
Hi Tara thank you for your very real description of Jack. He was so kind and interested in the arts community and dependable, and funny. A very loyal friend
Just today I found myself wondering what new info on the fire might be available and that's how I came upon your description. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts
He was an amazing person. Ive never met anyone who comes close to him. I walk around all the time saying "I miss you" over and over and it sounds so simple but I cant find the words that really convey how much I love him and how much he meant to me.
I just came to this terrible news because I Googled Jack's name the other day after reading his brother's law firm was mentioned in the Leslie Roberts bru-haha.
From your writing, and wonderful eulogy, I think we knew him at the same time. I think I met Jack first back in 1977 or 1978. He was living on Avenue Rd. and had a little shop, The Peanut Gallery, on Bedford Road. I remember him opening the storefront at the Roxy, and attended a few Rocky Horror nights. Funny, years later I moved to a place about a block away from the Roxy.
Jack and I had some weird and wonderful times way back when. He and I chatted on the phone a couple of years ago. We did a bit of reminiscing, and he came out with that cackle of a laugh more than once.
After reading your touching tribute, I found one of the student films he acted in. I never knew he acted, when we last chatted, he was about to record an album. I'm not surprised, though. For anyone else who finds this thread, here's a link to Heart of Perception.
He was such a nice man. Always full of energy... You will be missed

Surging gas prices
More from ebibei
Young fishermen pose with their catch of fresh reef fish
If the reef were a garden, this assortment of reef fish, ranging from parrotfish to unicornfish, could probably be compared to the healthiest of harvests. At an average of $1.50/lb, the cost of reef fish in Pohnpei, Micronesia has not changed much within the last decade, despite the fact that fishermen are paying a minimum of $5.50/gallon of fuel. Record high gas prices are affecting even folk such as these young fishermen who maintain a traditional, self-sustaining lifestyle dependent on the land and sea.

Sub-Federal Tax Exemptions in Russia: Less Taxes, More Investment?
The federal structure of Russia allows local authorities to determine independently some business taxes, thus opening up the opportunity to influence the business climate in order to attract mobile factors in economic development. This paper reveals the trends in the granting of regional tax exemptions and estimates their effects on the attraction of investment. The panel data embraces the characteristics of regional legislation and the indices of regional economic development for 72 regions over the period 1992–1998. The main conclusions of the study are: 1) regional investment legislation has an essential and positive impact on investment attraction, but can not itself be an engine of regional economic development; 2) the inter-regional diffusion of investment-related sub-federal laws has a tendency to increase the level of tax reliefs, as well as their period and flexibility; 3) more active in the adoption of investment legislation are those regional authorities that have higher estimations of the lack of investment and risk.

This Perlick 630SS Stainless Faucet and Stainless Steel Beer Shank setup allows the beer to only touch stainless steel.
Perlick Perl Forward Sealing Stainless Steel Faucet features a sealing design that seals the faucet near the spout end of the faucet, not at the rear like most other designs. This means there is less faucet area exposed to keep clean, and that area is easier to clean. The stainless steel beer shank has a 4-1/8" length with 3/16" Bore and a 3/16" ID stainless hose nipple.
Conventional wisdom has no place at Perlick. That's because Perlick's drive for innovation is legendary, leaving convention for the other guys to play with. Now, wisdom in general... well, that's another story. The new Perl Stainless Faucet from Perlick is a classic example. Its revolutionary Perl ball and floating O-ring design eliminates the need for a valve shaft. Beer gets no exposure to air; there's literally no space for mold and bacteria to grow. The Perl Faucet has fewer internal parts for better reliability.
This shank is 4-1/8" long with 3/16" Bore. A shank is used to attach a beer line to a faucet. The shank is mounted through a 1" hole in a wall, refrigerator door, cabinet, etc. The shank comes with a black flange on the front and a compression ring on the back. The compression ring is used to secure the shank to the mounting surface. All shanks come fitted with a stainless tail piece for beer line connection.

|Bryan (Homebrewer) (10-14-2014)

|Great Value!
|HomeSodaExpert (09-17-2014)

|Excellent combo for an excellent faucet. I never thought I would like the nippled shank, but it's nice not to have to deal with extra nuts, nipples, and washers. Less parts means less possibility for leaks. Best deal on a stainless Perlick combo.

Big tent
In politics, a big tent or catch-all party is a political party seeking to attract people with diverse viewpoints and thus appeal to more of the electorate. The big tent approach is opposed to single-issue litmus tests and ideological rigidity, conversely advocating multiple ideologies and views within a party.
In the United States, during the latter half of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th, the Republican Party boasted membership of big business interests, laborers (both of whom supported the GOP's tariff strategy) as well as many African-Americans, due to Republican Abraham Lincoln's abolition of slavery and the party's stance on civil rights.
Also, in the United States, a very good example of this approach was the New Deal coalition, which formed in support of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal policies since 1930s. This coalition brought together labor unions, southern Dixiecrats, progressives, and others in support of FDR's economic program, even though these groups strongly disagreed on other issues.
In Canada, the Liberal Party of Canada is not strongly ideological or regional, but is instead open to members with a wide range of views. While some criticize the party for lacking in conviction, supporters argue that compromise is an essential feature of democracy.
Other famous examples of catch all parties include the Republic of Ireland's Fianna Fáil, which has variously been categorised as socialist (according to former deputy leader Brian Lenihan)[citation needed] and neo-Thatcherite/neo-Reaganite, a description applied to the economic policies and politics of former Minister for Finance (1997–2004) Charles McCreevy. Fianna Fáil served in the coalition from 1989 to 1992 with the fiscally monetarist yet socially liberal Progressive Democrats, then with the social-democratic Labour Party and yet again with the Progressive Democrats, with Fianna Fáil tailoring its policies accordingly. After the 2007 Irish general election campaign, Fianna Fáil formed a coalition with the Progressive Democrats, the centre-left Green Party and initially three independent TDs (MPs). The party suffered spectacular losses at the 2011 general election in part due to the current Irish financial crisis, where it lost 57 of its outgoing 77 TD's being relegated into third place (Behind Fine Gael and Labour).
The Indian National Congress and Italy's now defunct Christian Democracy both attracted such a broad range of support as to make them catch all parties.
When Gordon Brown became British Prime Minister in 2007, he invited several members from outside the Labour Party into his government. These included former CBI Director-General Digby Jones who became a Minister of State, and former Liberal Democrats leader Paddy Ashdown who was offered the position of Northern Ireland Secretary (Ashdown turned down the offer).[1][2] The media often refer to Brown's Ministry as "a government of all the talents" or simply "Brown's big tent".[3]
In most western democracies, two or three major political parties profess an ideology of some sort (for example, social democracy, conservatism or liberalism) but in practice follow a big tent approach. In general, political parties with rigid ideologies do not perform well at the polls because of their reluctance to absorb a diversity of opinions, which in turn limits their influence on the electorate, thus resulting in them remaining minor parties.[citation needed] Canada provides two examples of how the adoption of a big tent approach has helped propel a formerly marginal party into broader electoral success, in the Green Party of Ontario and the (now-defunct) Social Credit Party of Canada.
In the United States, the big tent concept is practiced today within the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, and in the recent past within the Reform Party. In more recent times (the early 1990s) the secessionist Alaskan Independence Party had its only electoral success to date by allowing a popular figure who did not support the party's secessionist agenda to run for Governor of Alaska on their ballot line. This is in contrast to such political parties as the Libertarian Party, the Constitution Party, the Socialist Party, and various small Communist parties, which seek to advance a single ideology.
However even the Republicans, Democrats and Reform parties have vocal factions which advocate that those parties take on a more ideologically rigid character. There are factions in the Democratic Party which would like to make the party purely liberal, excluding the former party establishment centered around the Democratic Leadership Council, Blue Dog Democrats, and social conservatives. The Republicans are also a big tent party, as demonstrated by those elected Republicans who disagree with prominent party members George W. Bush and John McCain on one or more social, political, or economic issue. They may be socially liberal like Washington, DC city councilmember Carol Schwartz, support non-interventionist foreign policy like former Nebraska Senator and United States Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, or support a reduced role of the federal government, like Texas Representative Ron Paul. Others, like Mitt Romney when he was Governor of Massachusetts, disagree with George W. Bush and John McCain in multiple areas, including taxation and government-provided healthcare. In 2001, John McCain was one of two Republicans to vote against the Bush tax cuts, though he started supporting them during Bush's second term. Former Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chafee, the other Republican who voted against Bush's tax cuts in 2001, was the only Republican Senator to vote against the Iraq War resolution.
There are also those within each party who would like to make certain issues litmus tests for party membership even though there is substantial disagreement on those issues within the parties themselves. Tax cuts, abortion, and gun policy are three examples. For example, Grover Norquist chaired the Republican National Committee session presenting the candidates for Chairman. Norquist gave the candidates a catechism on these issues before they spoke.[4]
The Libertarian Party of the United States, following the 1974 Dallas Accord, embraced the big tent idea to the extent it ensured that the anarchist-capitalist views would not be excluded from the majority minarchist party.[5][6][7] The Republican Liberty Caucus and similar groups aim to shift the US Republican Party's "center of the tent" towards Goldwater-Reagan ideals and those of libertarian Ron Paul.
Historically in the United States, political parties adopting a big tent approach have performed well at the polls. Parties promoting only one narrow ideology have attracted marginal support at best, or have seen their issues adopted by one or both of the major parties in a big tent effort, effectively co-opting the issues and putting an end to the minor party; this happened to the Prohibition Party and the Populist Party.

During the six-year follow up, 291 cases of Parkinson's disease were identified.
Those who used ibuprofen had a 38 percent reduced risk of developing the disease compared to those who didn't use it, even after taking into account age, smoking and other factors.
When the researchers conducted a larger analysis using data from other studies on ibuprofen, other NSAIDs and disease risk, they found that, overall, ibuprofen users reduced their risk of Parkinson's by 27 percent compared to non-users.
No reduction in risk was found for those who took aspirin or other NSAIDs.
The ibuprofen may reduce inflammation thought to be a factor in the disease, Gao said. Or, it may target a receptor in the brain, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor y (PPARy).
What is known about PPAR, he said, is that it can inhibit cell death and oxidative damage.
Rezak said the research focus has shifted in recent years from treating symptoms to finding ways to detect Parkinson's disease before symptoms strike so neurons can be protected. Ibuprofen, he said, "may have some disease-modifying, neuroprotective effect in Parkinson's disease."
The finding is made more interesting, Rezak noted, because the link between reduced risk and medicine was limited to the ibuprofen.
In an editorial accompanying the study, Drs. James H. Bower and Beate Ritz bring up another possibility. It's believed that Parkinson's may begin to develop up to 20 years before motor problems appear. They ask: "Could gastrointestinal symptoms cause a patient with preclinical [Parkinson's disease] to be less likely to take ibuprofen regularly, thus explaining the association?"

The clutch may fail prematurely requiring replacement. It has been recommended by some that a high quality aftermarket replacement clutch may provide increased longevity over a clutch purchased from the dealer.
The seat belts may not properly retract due to an internal fault with the retractor mechanism. Replacement of the seat belt retractor would be required to correct this concern.
Failures of the automatic transmission related to the torque converter have been reported. Our technicians tell us that replacement of the failed torque converter will generally correct these issues.

The Great Barrier reef is in the worst state since records began and it's only going to get worse say researchers, but instead of taking action to help the reef, the Australian government has just paved the way to deal this natural wonder a possibly fatal blow.
The report on the state of the reef was made to an Australian Senate committee by a team of leading researchers including experts from the Marine Spatial Ecology Lab at the University of Queensland. The Senate committee is investigating how Australian authorities have managed the reef ahead of a UNESCO agency deciding next year whether to list the reef as a World Heritage site that is in danger.
A team of concerned researchers told the committee last week that, indeed, the reef is in bad shape and is currently facing a whole host of threats, including coastal development, farm pesticide run-off and general water pollution. There's also the fact that rising temperatures have led to coral bleaching, which threatens to kill off relatively large portions of the reef.
While the Great Barrier Reef, which is composed of more than 2,900 individual reefs, is capable of rejuvenating, these constant stresses have severely inhibited its ability to recover, say the researchers. In fact, since the reef was listed as a World Heritage site in 1981, the coral cover has halved (in fact, half of it is dead) and, as bad as the reef looks today, by 2050 the researchers project that the reef will be reduced to sparse coral cover, large swathes of seaweed beds and relatively few fish species.
Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, professor of marine studies at the University of Queensland, is quoted as saying that the current management efforts are inadequate. "This is an ecosystem that is owned to some extent by the world. It seems at every turn that we are trying to prove that we don't care about that commitment made in 1981."
The researchers told the committee that the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, which oversees management and tourism of and around the reef, has had its funding dramatically scaled back, hampering its efforts to keep up with the reef's many threats. In addition to this, commercial fishing and unlawful fishing are all driving the area closer to the brink, without adequate oversight or power given to the Park Authority to combat these problems.
One of the most pressing threats, though, and one that some campaigners believe could be the first definitive tolling of the bell for the reef as we know it, is the Abbot Point port expansion which will involve dredging around three million cubic meters of sand and soil that will then be dumped offshore inside the Great Barrier Reef marine park area. While permits say that the dumping site must be about 40km from the nearest reef, campaigners and some researchers say that the Port Authority cannot possibly guarantee the reef won't be impacted by this massive upheaval. Yet, those who are overseeing the project told the committee last week that these fears are overblown.
Ports Australia Chief Executive David Anderson told the committee that offshore dumping is both cheaper and better for the environment and contends that there are greater natural threats to the reef, like cyclones. Queensland Resources Council chief executive Michael Roche similarly backed those claims that the fears are overblown and that, all things considered, this the best option commercially and for the environment.
However, the Senate committee seemed skeptical of the suggestion that the expansion of the port needed to be quite so large, pointing out that its size could have been reduced by transferring minerals to ships that were further out to sea — yet this option was ignored in favor of robust expansion.
The Guardian has further details on this operation and reveals that the presiding Abbott government has already signed off on the Port expansion despite the fact that it is highly contentious:
On 29 July, the last major regulatory hurdle facing the development of Australia's largest coal mine was removed by Greg Hunt, minister for the environment. The Carmichael coal mine, owned by India's Adani Group, will cover 200 sq km and produce 60m tonnes of coal a year – enough to supply electricity for 100 million people. Located in Queensland's Galilee Basin, 400km inland from the reef, it will require a major rail line, which is yet to receive final approval, to transport the coal, which must then be loaded on to ships at the ports of Hay Point and Abbot Point, near Gladstone on the Queensland coast, adjacent to the southern section of the reef. Both ports require dredging and expansion to manage the increased volume of shipping. Once aboard, the coal must be shipped safely through the coral labyrinth that is the Great Barrier Reef, and on to India, where it will be burned in great coal-fired power plants.
That the Abbott government has signed off on this expansion even while the Senate is still exploring the effects on the reef is testament to the government's already established poor environment agenda. The government seems to be ignoring not just that the expansion itself could injure the environment, but the coal extracted is likely to act as a devastating pollutant that the reef, in its ailing state, simply cannot fight off.
As pointed out above though, this issue doesn't just impact Australia. What the government does now could in the future rob the world of one of its most precious natural wonders. That's why as the senate committee hearing continues this week, a number of environmental groups from around the world will be listening and waiting for the committee's recommendations, hoping that at last the plight of the reef will be given the attention it deserves.

Mom as Role Model
"Now more than ever before, moms need to lead by example and look for ways to make better choices for themselves and their families," said pediatrician Frank R. Greer, MD, chairman of the AAP Committee on Nutrition. "It's important to help kids stay physically active and offer nutritious foods and beverages, like milk, to avoid unhealthy weight gain and minimize future health risks. Moms are one of the most powerful forces that can influence the weight and eating habits of America's children."
Actress and mom Marg Helgenberger, from the hit CBS television series "CSI," will be sporting a milk mustache in the newest got milk? ad, debuting this month in Shape magazine. You can also find Marg's mustached mug in grocery store dairy cases throughout the country saluting mom as Chief Health Officer and promoting the availability of the $100,000 "mom paycheck." She says, "You're in charge of keeping your family healthy. It's time you got paid for it. Studies suggest that drinking three glasses of lowfat or fat free milk each day can help maintain a healthy weight."
Coast-to-Coast Search for America's Chief Health Officer
To help spread the word, the got milk? campaign is hitting the road to
search for hometown Chief Health Officers. From May to September, Milk
Mustache Mobiles will travel to 75 cities throughout the country hosting
free, local events to celebrate mom and her valuable role as the family's
nutritional decision maker. At each local stop during the tour, families
can pose for their own milk mustache photo, sample lowfat and fat free milk
from local processors and "mom-inate" a mom they know to win America's
Chief Health Officer. The national winner will be featured in her own Milk

What Time Does the Olympic Opening Ceremony Start?
The question of what time does the Olympic opening ceremony start has more than one answer. Technically, the kick off event for the XXX Olympiad is set to get underway Friday, July 27th at 9:30 PM London time, or 4:30 PM Eastern Standard Time.
However, NBC won't be airing the event until 7:30PM, Eastern and Pacific time. So American audiences will end up watching the opening ceremony on a tape delay.
