I am 36 weeks today and off of bedrest officially, after having been on bedrest for preterm labor since 25 weeks! I had shortened cervix (2.0) at 25 weeks and went into labor at 28 weeks which thankfully they were able to stop with a mag iv. I was then 100% effaced and at 32 weeks was 1 cm dilated. I'm now 3 cm dilated but made it to 36 weeks! The doctors (and myself) never thought I'd make it this far!!!
I feel good though, having quite a bit of contractions but nothing real regular yet. I also had an ultrasound today and was finally able to get some 3d pictures of my son's face! I hadn't been able to get any because he's been at a 0 and then +1 station for weeks, but today he had his face turned to the side so we were able to get a pretty good look at him. He looks like his daddy and seems absolutely perfect! I'm so excited to meet him- I can't wait!!!
I will try probably still hang out on here with you all :) and will let you all know when the little guy decides to join us :) Thank you for all your support- this is such a great place to be when on bedrest- I don't know what I would have done without you all being so supportive and understanding!!! Best of luck to all of you!!

There's a reason Michael Jordan's globally recognized logo is of him as a basketball player and not as an NBA executive.
In the latter his feet would never leave the ground.

Town considers closing middle schoolJanuary 25,2013Guilford considers closing middle school
GUILFORD The Vermont town of Guilford is considering closing its middle school.
If that happens, seventh- and eighth-graders would attend Brattleboro Area Middle School.
The Brattleboro Reformer reports board members are expected to choose between those budgets at a special session scheduled for Sunday afternoon. But a final decision will made by voters at Town Meeting in March.
Supporters of sending the children to Brattleboro say they would have additional education and extracurricular opportunities. They also cite Guilfords declining enrollment.
But middle-school supporters have argued that Guilfords small school supports the local instruction.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

I am trying to debug a virtual machine (VM) running on a remote computer from my workstation (A). Both VM and A are running Windows 7 Enterprise.
Apparently, I need to start the Remote Debugger Service (RDS) on VM as an administrator.
Apparently, I also need to run RDS as the user Tewr logged in on A (domain: DOM).
VM runs the services i need to debug, as well as the remote desktop interface with an account VMUSER in a domain called VMDOMAIN.
I manage to start RDS as administrator, but then the RDS process is owned by VMUSER and that's not good enough. I also manage to run RDS as DOM\Tewr, but then not as an administrator. I have Added DOM\Tewr as an administrator on VM, but thats not good enough becuase the process is still not run as administrator.
How can I run the RDS process as DOM\Tewr and "As Administrator", while logged on in windows as VMDOMAIN\VM?
(note: I have tried creating an account with the same credentials / password as VMUSER, as hinted in the ms article above, but with no luck...)

The 4-in-1 Dream is a stroller/ride-on trike designed to grow with your child in four stages. In the first stage, the pedals are folded in and parents steer the stroller using the parent handle. In this stage, you'd use the foot rest, padded high-back support, over-the-shoulder seat belts, and canopy to keep your baby safe and comfortable.
At around 18 months, little ones are ready for stage two. Parents remove the long back support and canopy, but keep the side handles for safety. Parents will still push and control the Dream using the parent handle. At this stage, babies start developing confidence and will learn how to balance on the bike in preparation for the next stage.
Around 24 months, convert the stroller to a training trike by removing the safety harness and folding in the footrest. Fold out the non-slip pedals so that children can rest their feet on the pedals and learn how to pedal. The handlebar clutch is also unlocked so kids can start mastering how to steer, but parents can still be in control with the parent handle.
Finally, at about 30 months, your child is ready for stage four. Remove the parent handle, close the safety clutch, and the stroller becomes an independent tricycle for your child to ride on his or her own.
Some other important features of the 4-in-1 Dream include patented Touch Steering technology, shock-absorbent rubber wheels, built-in suspension, an easy-to-use foot brake, and a large front swivel wheel for tight cornering. Accessories include a cup holder, a storage bag, and a basket. It also comes with a toy cell phone.
We like products that have multiple uses and that parents will be able to use for a long time. The 4-in-1 Dream is a stroller/trike that parents will be able to use for a couple of years because it transforms at each stage and grows with the child. Keep in mind that this is really more of a toy tricycle than a stroller. You may be able to substitute it for a stroller, but it's not going to be as durable as a real stroller.
The 4-in-1 Dream is for ages 10 months to 36 months. There is a 38-pound weight limit.
It took us 20 minutes to put this together, and the instructions were easy to follow.
Two AA batteries are required for the toy cell phone.

Spain Wins First World Cup With 1-0 Victory Over Netherlands
Spain beat the Netherlands 1-0 in extra time last night to win its first soccer World Cup title in a final that set a record for yellow cards.
Andres Iniesta scored in the 116th minute at Soccer City in Johannesburg after the match finished scoreless in regulation. The game featured 14 yellow cards, the most in a World Cup final. Nine of them went to the Dutch, who had defender John Heitinga sent off for his second caution.
Spain added the global title to the European Championship it won two years ago to become soccer's first new world champion since France in 1998. The Spanish recovered from a loss in their opening game with Switzerland that had made it difficult for the team to make the knockout stages. Spain scored just 8 times in the tournament, beating the record of 11 goals held by 1994 champion Brazil and 1966 victor England.
"It was very intense, balanced and even," Spain coach Vicente del Bosque told journalists. "It was rough at times, but that's part of football. After Switzerland I reminded my players what had brought us here."
The match was overshadowed by two bomb blasts in the Ugandan capital of Kampala that killed at least 70 people. The attacks are suspected to have been carried out by Somali insurgents linked to al-Qaeda, Ugandan security officials said.
The Spanish had 56 percent of possession, even as the Dutch tried to hurry players into passes in an attempt to turn the ball over. The Dutch committed 28 fouls, compared with 19 for the new champions. Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk said his team didn't plan to foul its way through the match.
'Horrible Fouls'
"It's not our style to commit horrible fouls," he said. "It's not our kind of football. It was a World Cup final and people were tense. I think both sides, also the Spaniards, committed terrible fouls."
By winning the first World Cup to be staged in Africa, Spain also becomes the only European nation to clinch soccer's biggest prize away from its own continent.
Spain's victory also took Europe 10-9 ahead of South America in overall World Cup wins and will keep the trophy on the same continent for the first time since 1962, when Brazil clinched back-to-back titles. Spain is the eighth country to win in the tournament's 80-year history.
The Netherlands, which finished as runner-up in 1974 and 1978, had won all six games en route to the final and all eight qualifying matches.
"We did this to ourselves," Van Marwijk said after the Netherlands became the first team to lose in three World Cup finals. "It's very bitter in defeat, and very sad, but the best team won."
First-Round Flops
The defeat of the Dutch left New Zealand as the 32-nation tournament's only unbeaten team following three draws in the group stage, which saw defending champion Italy and 2006 runner-up France exit after finishing bottom of their pools.
Record five-time champion Brazil lost to the Netherlands in the quarterfinals, while Diego Maradona's Argentina was routed 4-0 by Germany at the same stage. The Germans, who beat Uruguay 3-2 two days ago to finish third, also put four goals past Australia and England.
The tournament will be remembered for the droning of vuvuzelas, the plastic horns played non-stop by supporters, as well as players' complaints about the imperfect flight of the Adidas Jabulani ball. England's Robert Green didn't play again after allowing a U.S. shot to trickle into his net, and referees Koman Coulibaly, Jorge Larrionda and Roberto Rosetti were sent home before the final after errors that may have changed games.
South Americans
South America got a record five teams into the last 16, only to have four crash out before the semifinals, leaving just Uruguay. Europe, which looked lost after former title holders France, England and Italy were eliminated, got both finalists.
Last night's match began after an hour-long closing ceremony that culminated with an appearance from former South African president Nelson Mandela.
Chants of "Madiba, Madiba," rang out as the 91-year-old Mandela, wearing a furry black hat, waved to the crowd of 84,490 as he was driven across the field on a buggy. He met with soccer officials including FIFA President Sepp Blatter before exiting through the players' tunnel.
Fabio Cannavaro, who led Italy to the 2006 title, then carried the World Cup out onto the pitch before raising the trophy aloft in the center circle.
With the two teams waiting in the tunnel, a man wearing a T-shirt with an anti-racism slogan ran across the pitch and put what appeared to be a red hat on the World Cup. Several security men wrestled him to the ground and carried him off.
The first chance of the match came in the fifth minute and was the closest either team got to scoring in the opening 45 minutes. Netherlands goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg dived to his right to stop a header from Sergio Ramos, who met Xavi's free kick near the penalty spot.
Referee Howard Webb produced five yellow cards in the first half, more than the combined number of shots the teams had on target. Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas was forced to tip the ball over in the 33rd minute when Wesley Sneijder's pass, played back for the goalkeeper to restart play, kicked up off the turf.
Webb brandished two more yellow cards in the first 12 minutes after the break, lifting the tally to seven, passing the previous record of six shown in the 1986 championship match.
The Netherlands had the first two scoring chances of the second half. Heitinga headed Sneijder's free kick past the goalpost and Casillas saved from Arjen Robben with his legs when the Dutch forward was clear on goal.
Robben Chance
Spain's David Villa then had two shots that were blocked and Ramos headed over from 12 yards in the 77th minute. Robben went clear on goal six minutes later after holding off Carles Puyol and Casillas raced out to gather the ball, ensuring the teams were tied 0-0 after 90 minutes.
Cesc Fabregas had two chances for Spain in the first extra period before Heitinga was sent off for his second yellow card with 11 minutes remaining following a foul on Iniesta just outside the penalty area.
With the match heading for a penalty shootout, Iniesta won it for his team with four minutes remaining when he volleyed past Stekelenburg.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A committee formed by U.S. Rep. Artur Davis has recommended two black Birmingham lawyers for President
Barack Obama to consider in his search to fill the seat of the first black federal judge in Alabama.
Davis' committee on Wednesday recommended attorneys Abdul Kallon
or Herman "Rusty" Johnson as replacements for U.S. District Judge U.W. Clemon, who is retiring. Kallon was the committee's first choice and Johnson the second choice.
Clemon became Alabama's first black federal judge in 1980 when appointed by President Carter.
Davis said Wednesday that Kallon and Johnson were chosen after an extensive process that included taking applications and interviewing candidates.
A separate committee formed by the Alabama Democratic Party recommended Madison County District Judge Lynn Sherrod for the north Alabama judgeship. She also is black.

DioGuardi Faces Big Cash Deficit
New campaign-finance reports show Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has a lopsided fund-raising advantage over her challenger, Joe DioGuardi, as the race heads into the final weeks.
Mr. DioGuardi, a Republican former congressman from Westchester, spends much of his time on the stump talking about the dangers of the federal budget deficit, but his funding woes are keeping many New Yorkers from even hearing that message.
Finance reports released Monday show he ended September with $350,000 in cash, and $250,000 in debts. Those debts can be paid off after the election, but his numbers are still far behind those of Ms. Gillibrand, a Democrat who reported $3.5 million in cash.
That 10-to-1 cash advantage is evident on the airwaves. Mr. DioGuardi ran an introductory television ad two weeks ago in upstate markets, but has since gone dark. Ms. Gillibrand has continued to run ads.
If not for his own money, Mr. DioGuardi's campaign might have very little at all. He reports donating nearly $700,000 to his own campaign. The filings also show that he has paid himself back for a roughly $850,000 loan he made to the campaign earlier this year.
It wasn't immediately clear why the candidate decided to give, rather than loan, hundreds of thousands of dollars to his campaign.
The challenger, who won a three-way primary on Sept. 14, has been able to raise some money. Since late August, he has received about $375,000 in donations. During the same period Ms. Gillibrand raised $1.3 million.
Ms. Gillibrand's current cash advantage may help her beyond this campaign season. She was appointed to the Senate by Gov. David Paterson in 2009 to fill the seat vacated when Hillary Clinton became secretary of state.
Although Senate terms are for six years, the race between Ms. Gillibrand and Mr. DioGuardi is to serve out the remaining two years of Ms. Clinton's term. So if Ms. Gillibrand has any money left over in 2010, she can use it toward another race in 2012.
This year, both New York Senate seats are up for grabs, as well as the governor's office, and polls so far show Democrats with big leads in all three races.
Ms. Gillibrand and Mr. DioGuardi will hold their second debate on Thursday in Troy.

Antiques Considered - July 18, 2012

This etched glass lidded compote belongs to a lady I met many years ago. She acquired it at an estate sale here in the Northern Neck, and prizes it as one of her best pieces of glass. It is in excellent condition, and the base shows the correct amount of wear for its age. She is thinking of giving it as a wedding present, and wishes to know if its value is sufficiently significant, as she thinks the newlyweds might not realize its value.
For a start, if someone had given my good wife and me such a present I should have been overjoyed with gratitude. This is a great piece of American pattern glass from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. It most likely came from one of the Ohio glass factories, as it is typical of the elegant work that was produced there in the golden age of American glass manufacturing.
In many cases the lids of compotes have been broken, thus making the ones that have stayed together more valuable. The etching on this example seems to be hand done, rather than having been a pattern, which adds to its value.
Given the fine design, the good condition, and the age, this compote would be a popular item at a glass auction or in an upper end antique shop. It is worth $200, thus my comment about its desirability as a wedding present.
As with all prevailing market conditions, the value of antiques has declined over the past five years. In questioning whether to buy or sell an antique, or in this instance whether to give one as a present, one must bear in mind that antiques are luxury items that people do not have to have, (unless, that is, that they are hoarders!). In questionable times such as these, knowing when and what to buy is a skill, indeed an art, and caution sometimes is advisable. Once bought, the piece might not be readily convertible back to cash.
Happy Antiquing!

Decades of domination were built on his icy reputation. Having decided unanimously amongst the team that we were all cowards, we rigged the short straws so JC had to go face to face with the Terminator and left him with strict instructions not to look him in the eyes otherwise he'd probably die. Many biscuits were bitten and teas nervously drunk before he returned but thankfully he did, bringing back a must read interview with the most successful windsurfer in the world and his retirement plans for anything but pipe and slippers.

Some say he should have quit while he was ahead as PWA Slalom world champion back in 2011 but the simple truth of the matter is that Bjorn Dunkerbeck just loves to windsurf and the thrill of competition is in his blood and something that was always going to be tough to let go. The last two years have been a rocky road for Bjorn on tour, the sweet smell of victory has evaporated to a certain extent with 13th and 14th places in the overall rankings; tough results to handle after years of domination! Bjorn has been publicly critical of light wind slalom, a major factor in his decision to announce the final curtain on his thirty year PWA career would be drawn at the end of the 2104 season.
So when Bjorn held his press conference in Sylt delivering this shockwave to the windsurfing world, I sensed an interview with this icon of windsurfing was imminent. The big question was when and where? My initial thoughts were to plan it right after his last race in Noumea but what if he wasn't in the mood or he had a bad race. If he did not cooperate then I could blow the whole thing! I could have snagged him down straight away during Sylt or in La Torche but it just did not seem right to interview him until his PWA career was officially terminated. So I decided to take my chances and leave it until Noumea, in my books it had to be done right after the last race after 30 years on tour. That's when the emotions would be flowing, the quiver bags finally packed and the moment he would start focusing his legendary status, skills and passion in a new direction. Come the final morning of the last day of Noumea, I knew it was going to be a hectic day. Albeau and Moussilmani were locked in battle for the title, plus there was a prize giving ceremony after the racing and the usual bag packing frenzy that goes down after an event.
Unfortunately for Dunky he made an uncharacteristic mistake in his final ever round of PWA slalom and sailed the wrong heat but surprisingly when I tracked him down in his pit area after the racing he was in a upbeat mood and was more than happy to sit down for an interview to reflect on his thirty years of professional competition. Far from being the end of the road for Bjorn, his piercing eyes still looked hungry for more glory as he answered my questions about the past, present and future. It proved to be a story not just about the end of a journey but also the start of another chapter in the life of living legend, Bjorn Dunkerbeck!

TARIFA June 2014
// After the PWA Korea event was cancelled,
Ben Van Der Steen was busting to get out there and race so he headed to the Slalom IFCA worlds in the Azores. He's probably glad he made that decision, since he came back with a World Title! Back at home, John Carter sent him out in 40 knots to sail in front of the 'Sacred Heart of Jesus' statue in front of the Tarifa Harbour entrance so he could capture this photo. Ironically, the statue faces out towards Africa, as if to welcome immigrants into Spain. This is also the spot where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic Ocean, the southernmost point in continental Europe and a mere 11 km. across the straits of Gibraltar to Morocco.
