Enjoy your pregnancy and your birth.

Im not sure if this thread is still going but i need some help. Im 35 weeks pregnant and have made a huge mistake.
I didnt sleep a wink last night, i was shaking with fear and about to loose it. I feel sick to the stomach with worry and how could i be so stupid! Just How could i be so stupid! It could have been avoided!
MY son and i went to the inlaws for dinner last night and ds went out with his poppy to ride the tractor and see the newborn twin lambs that were born the previous night or early that morning. One of which was weak and he got to pat it a few time on the head.
I asumed when the returned back inside he had his hands washed after being outside touching the animals.
We sat up for dinner and he had a little pick at a few things then left it so i ate the rest.
It wasnt until i got home it dawned on me.....had he actually had his hands washed????...... Answer no but he only patted it a few times on the head ( doesnt matter he touched it, a little or alot, he touched a new lamb and now his fingers could have horrible damaging bacteria harmful to baby!!) .
I know newborn lambs are a huge no no to touch in pregnancy due to the listeria and toxo risk.
But worse so as this little one maybe weak especially if his infected with listeria. Im hoping not as his twin is healthy.
Our local Dr's is open sundays but my Dr wont be there until monday. Last time i saw a different dr to my normal baby dr he thought i was crazy and didnt seem to concerned about my worries. So i finally got into my normal dr and she ran the test twice just to make sure.
My question is how long does it take Listeria to show up in a blood test? I know sometimes symptoms can appear between 1-90 days from being infected but wondering if you can detect it before symptoms show.
Im wondering if i should be getting tested for listeria weekly until baby arrives so if i do happen to have it it can be treated asap with antibiotics and baby can be closely monitored before and after birth.
I know Toxo wont show up for 3ish weeks after exposure because that's the incubation period. ( ive previously been tested after handling my very ill Dog. So im extremely upset with myself for not washing my sons hands myself then i wouldn't be in this stressed mess. I couldn't bare loosing my baby, having a still born or a very i'll baby. I will only blame myself.
Sorry i sound like a paranoid freak. My anxiety is extremely bad and im embarrassed to go to the dr because i go there alot becuase i worry.
Im totally loosing it.
Thanks Worried!

Hi tamz026,
Please try not to worry. I know this is easier to say than do. It is extremely unlikely that you will have contracted listeria from the situation you have described. Animals with listeria can pass on the disease through their stools but even given this: the lamb would have had to have listeria, then your husband would have had to touch some of a contaminated stool and then this pass to you through the touching of the stool. Even if all this happened you are still unlikely to contract listeria. I know it is a serious disease but it is still rare.
In answer to your question, you could have a blood test this week to check if you had contracted the listeria even if you had no symptoms. Most symptoms do begin shortly and you have not shown any of these yet.
Remember that your baby will benefit from you trying to be as relaxed and not stressed as possible. If you feel yourself worrying then try to bear this is mind.
You could see your doctor tomorrow to check their opinion but in the meantime hold onto the fact it is very unlikely and that you need to minimise stress for the benefit of your baby.
Warm wishes,

Been to the dr which I feel was a total waste of time :-(
I was told there is no blood test available for listeria so I'm none the wiser.
The vet also said they could test the after birth for listeria and toxo but it could come back negative when there are traces so it's not always 100% and for $400 I'd want it to be correct.
I'm just crossing my fingers and toes hoping like mad I haven't got anything and baby will be healthy at birth and afterwards.
I just keep telling myself that if the lamb was carrying toxo or listeria it's condition would / should have worsened not gotten better and if listeria was present there would of been sheep misscarry rather then going to term and having healthy lambs.
I hope I'm correct. The next 5/6 weeks can't come quick enough so all my worries can be over , well mostly. It will always be in the back of my mind for the 1st few weeks incase.
24th September 2013 05:00 AM #36
I'm sorry to hear that your doctor wasn't more supportive.
There is a blood test for listeria but perhaps your doctor did not think the risk of you having caught it was very great. I would emphasise again that the risk of you getting listeria is still very low given the situation you described.
Try to stay calm and remember any stress will not be good for you or your baby. Have you thought about your wishes for the birth?
Thinking of you,

For the birth i am hoping i can do the same as last time.
I had an amazing waterbirth. Im so lucky our local hospital offers this!
They are becoming a more and more popular choice here.
Still paranoid :-/ my son has woken up with a cold this morning Running blocked nose ( his the one who patted the lamb not my husband, sorry to confuse you. I probably used the wrong forum lingo )
Would that be a similar to symptoms of listeria. I know it is for toxo as that what i got tested 10 weeks ago after dealing with a sick dog.
Its got me totally paranoid because when ever he gets sick i get sick to and we both ate the same dish his hands contaminated.
the next 4/5 weeks cant come quick enough.
My midwife is away at the moment and she is so supportive and helpful. I feel like she actually genuinely cares unlike my Dr. So when my midwife returns i will be asking her if she can request the tests. Its clearly a waste of breath and money seeing my Dr.
26th September 2013 06:19 AM #38
Hi again,
Your local hospital sounds excellent. I wish you another amazing Waterbirth.
A cold is not a symptom of listeria. There is more information about the symptoms of listeria here.
Sorry I read your previous post wrong - I see it is your son who touched the lambs.
Please hold onto that fact that it is very unlikely that any infection would have made its way to you because you did not touch the lamb directly. I'm very glad to hear your midwife is supportive - I hope she will be able to support you further.
Note that most stomach symptoms of listeria occur within 48 hours of being infected. It sounds like neither you nor your son have stomach symptoms so I hope that is further reassurance to you.
Warm wishes,

Hi, I'm 12 weeks pregnant and live in the uk. Last Friday- a week ago I went on a spa day with friends followed by a three course meal- soup, lamb chump and dauphinois potatoes and side salad, stuffed apple and ice cream. As I ate the lamb I was happy with the first chump of two, well done- no pink, but in cutting into the second one it was a definite pink so I left it and continued with the rest of the meal- stupidly with the same knife. I also ate the salad which I didn't particularly enjoy as it was smothered in an oil dressing but as I hadn't eaten much veg that day thought I'd better have it! The following morning I woke with a bad stomach- just cramps, which got slightly better and then got worse only managing 1.5 hours sleep on the Saturday. It was all in upper stomach and there was no v or d, although I did go to the toilet at 4 and 5 am to pass two small soft stools but not loose (sorry tmi) I couldn't stomach much food Sunday due to nausea and my stomach still not feeling too good and completely exhausted but now am panicking about the lamb, how well was the salad washed or even was the ice cream left out of freezer to long and refrozen etc etc and questioning listeria and toxoplasmosis. Spoken to a doc and my midwife who are not overly concerned and told me not to worry suggesting if it was something nasty I would have had v and d- which I have read isn't strictly true when it comes to listeria, so I'm still worried!!

Hi KatyAnderson,
Welcome to the forum and a huge congratulations on your pregnancy.
I would agree with the advice of your doctor and midwife as listeria normally leads to stomach symptoms (which generally occur within 48 hours of eating the problem food). Have you had your 12/13 week scan yet? When is your next midwife appointment.
Please do remember just how rare listeria is. You could always ask for a blood test if you still have concerns. In the UK, there is also the Tommy's midwife-lead pregnancy advice line which you can call for extra advice.

Thank you for your reply by stomach problems
I take it you are referring to v and d not just the cramps that I experienced?! I have my 12 week scan on Tuesday, but I have already had a viability scan at 10 weeks to ensure everything was in the right place etc as I am a type one diabetic. I will look at the website you mentioned and thank you again for the advice
30th September 2013 06:48 AM #42
Dear Katy,
Yes - most cases of listeria result in vomiting and diarrhoea within 48 hours of being contaminated.
I hope the scan goes well on Tuesday and you enjoy seeing your baby again.

Sorry to hijack this thread...
Just curious about Salad and listeria.
I am pregnant and regularly have lettuce at home, whilst all recommendations are to wash lettuce before use, i would like to know how well it needs to be washed before consumption to avoid listeria.
I have just been rinsing the individual leaves under cold water quickly before use, is this ok?

Dear Mummy,
Welcome to our forum and a huge congratulations on your pregnancy!
I think you are wise to be careful about washing salad. One study found that the greatest cause of E.coli in prepared foods was found in fresh fruit or vegetables. These could have come into contact with dirty hands, pests or even animal faeces before arriving in your fridge.
One way of killing any bacteria is to first wash the salad in some salt water and then rinse it after in clean water to get rid of any excess salt. You can use 1 tsp of salt per 1 ltr of water. You need to use water which would be safe to drink when washing your salad.
I hope this helps and please do post back any further pregnancy-related questions you have here on our forum.
Best wishes for a happy, healthy pregnancy.

Published March 2012
If you know me, you know I love to read. Some of my past articles have been on books that I have read and why I like them. So, this time I thought I would ask my friends what they have been reading. Thanks to the social network, Facebook, I posted my status asking for their help. I requested they tell me what book they have read recently, if they would recommend it and why. Here's what my Facebook friends had to say:
Tammy Nabors Gilbert— "The Shack;" My pastor loaned it to me. Great book! Really makes you stop and think about your own relationship with Christ and what it might be like when we meet him face to face! One of those books when you start reading, you don't want to put it down!
Sandy Stockton Harrell— "Open Season," by C.J. Box; Murder mystery set in Colorado with the game warden being the good guy. It's a series. The author is a native of Wyoming.
Stacie VanDeman Poynor— "The Road to Fort Worth," by Michael Jackson Smith.
Sandra Lowe— "We need to talk about Kevin;" Haven't finished yet but really good so far.
Tina Nolen— "Beyond Belief," by Josh Hamilton; A good read for everyone! Shows anyone can never give up even when they fail!
"Same Kind of Difference as Me," by Ron Hall and Denver Moore; A true story about an international art dealer and a modern day slave (a homeless man). A true story of love and compassion and how they never die.
And "Water for Elephants," by Sara Gruen; A story of a veterinarian that joins a circus. He has love for everyone in the circus, including the animals. Falls in love with a married female performer and doesn't give up on that love. Of course, they live happily ever after!
Liesel Cottrell— "Three Cups of Tea," by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin; A book that changed the way people think about changing the world: Peace Through Education. It is a great book.
And "Desiring God," by John Piper; It is amazing.
Suzy Caddell Byrd— "The Memory Keeper's Daughter," by Kim Edwards; Story of a man who gives away his baby girl after seeing she has down's syndrome when born, but tells his wife she died at birth. It is just a really touching story of a nurse that raised her and how much the father missed out on a life.
Angela Wheat Nanny— "Sarah's Key," "Water for Elephants," "Chasing Rainbows," and "The Wedding Gift!"
Cassandra Key— "The Fulfillment Principle," by Bob Westfall; It's about dreaming God's dream through the perspective of the parable of the talents. I liked the encouragement it offered because following the dreams God put in our hearts is a wild journey!
Melodie Donathan— "The Help;" An interesting perspective on life in the South during the '60s, as it is told from the point of view of three characters. It's not all that new but I enjoyed it. I do have to say that it is not the "To Kill a Mockingbird" of this generation. There is no comparison to Harper Lee, but it was a good read.
Sandy Whittley— "The Postcard Killers," by James Patterson; Great gory mystery!!
Mike Slimp— "Brules," "The Scout," and "The Legend of the Painted Horse," by Harry Combs. The books chronicle the life of a character named Cat Brules who fought Indians, became a Scout during the Indian Wars and was part of the whole campaign against the Sioux where Custer made his "last stand," and, finally, on a piece of "his Heaven" in the Four Corners area. They are a great read, full of adventure, paint beautiful pictures of the mountain west, chronicle a bit of history of that area naming places you have probably seen or visited at some point, and provide a plausible insight into why there are painted horses in the United States. Good reading!
I have read a few of the books listed, some I have not. But it won't take me long to get caught up, thanks to my new Kindle Fire.
I received a Kindle Fire for Christmas and was excited and skeptical at the same time. My family knew how much I loved to read and I was thankful for that, but I had my doubts. I really didn't think I would like to read books on a Kindle.
One of the things I love about reading is actually holding the book in my hands. I love the feel of a book, the weight of it, the smell of it, turning the pages—visually seeing just how much I have read hour by hour. I didn't know if I could give that up.
As you can imagine, I did. I downloaded a few books on the Kindle and began reading, one by one. After the third book, there was no stopping me, I was hooked. I would download and read, download and read. I haven't looked back since. As I'm writing this in mid-February, I have read 20 books on my Kindle since Christmas and have many more to go. I have read more than I ever thought imaginable.
My most recent reads have been "The Hunger Games Trilogy," by Suzanne Collins; "Breaking Dawn," by Stephenie Myer; and "The Vow," by Kim and Krickitt Carpenter. I am one of those who likes to read the book before seeing the movie—there's so much more detail in the books.
But, the book I am currently reading is not available for download. This book is written by Peggy Powell of New York. She is a reader of Lesli's This and That and sent me a copy of her unpublished book. What an honor! So for now, my kindle is put aside. I am reading a actual book, physically turning the pages of the book and holding it in my hands; loving every minute of it. You will have to wait a little while before I share the story of this book with you. It is pretty special to me.
I would like to say, "Thank You" to all my friends that responded to my post. I enjoy reading all different genres and look forward to adding your books to my collection.

GSA Lowers Price of Recycled Paper to Help Agencies Buy More of It; Action could potentially save over $3 million a year
October 30, 1996
Contact: Hap Connors
(202) 501-1231
Internet: email@example.com
The U.S. General Services Administration said it has reduced the price of recycled content copier paper offered in its supply system to help Federal agencies comply with a Clinton Administration directive while meeting budget constraints.
The announcement was made by John Stanberry, GSA's Environmental Executive, at a White House Summit on Paper on October 18. The Summit brought together government and industry executives to discuss ways to meet the requirements of Executive Order 12873 that directs Federal agencies to buy recycled content products.
Stanberry said, "GSA is doing its part to meet the President's goals by making it easier for agencies to purchase recycled and other environmentally oriented products. Our environmental initiatives are proving that sound environmental policies can also save tax dollars."
Stanberry's announcement that GSA would be offering recycled content copier paper five cents lower than its nonrecycled counterpart is significant because recycled content copier paper has historically been considerably more expensive. Agencies buy $63 million of nonrecycled copier paper through GSA. If all of it were the recycled content copier paper, the five cent savings would total $3,150,000.
Spending over $200 billion each year on goods and services, the Federal Government has tremendous potential to leverage its purchasing power towards environmentally oriented products and services. These purchases include paper and paper products with recycled content, products that conserve energy and water, and paint and chemical items reformulated to be less environmentally detrimental.
In addition to managing the Federal Recycling Program, the GSA supply system provides over 3,000 environmentally oriented products and services to Federal agencies through a variety of programs. Sales of products from these programs exceeded $300 million for fiscal year 1995.
In his remarks, Stanberry highlighted several GSA recycling initiatives and accomplishments:
_ GSA's Federal Supply Service has pioneered efforts to use recycled paint by establishing the industry standard and aggressively marketing the product. By using high-grade, left-over paint in making recycled latex paints, usable paint stays out of landfills.
_ GSA operates "Green Rooms" where unneeded office supplies can be reused by other offices.
_ GSA's stock program offers remanufactured toner cartridges, the sales for which totaled $2.6 million in fiscal year 1995. Recycled cartridges have a cost savings of almost 50 percent over a new cartridge and prevents three to four pounds each of plastic from entering the landfills.
_ GSA's 1995 Recycling Program enlisted the participation of over 530,000 Federal employees and collected over $800,000 from the sale of recovered materials. This money will be returned to the participating agencies, many of which, like GSA, will put their money into child care centers.
Recycling also saved over $2.5 million in fees for using and transporting material to landfills. In 1995, 42,000 tons of paper -- the main material recycled in Federal buildings -- was prevented from reaching landfills. This translated to the following savings: 125,000 cubic yards of landfill; 646,000 trees; 266 million gallons of water; 14 million gallons of oil, and 155 million kilowatt hours of electricity.
These savings are possible because paper manufactured from recycled material uses 64 percent less energy than making paper from trees. It also creates 74 percent less air pollution and produces 35 percent less water pollution. The energy saved by the Federal Recycling Program is enough electricity to satisfy the annual electrical requirements of over 42,000 American houses.
For more information on GSA's Federal Recycling Program and other energy and environmental initiatives, call GSA's Office of Public Affairs at (202) 501-0705, or visit

Photo Gallery: Civil rights activists plan 'peace monitoring'
SAN BERNARDINO -- What began as a 100-person march down the sidewalk with people chanting "no justice, no peace" grew into vandalism and attacks on police Thursday night, authorities say, but Friday morning brought a call from civil-rights activists for justice and peace.
Standing at Base Line and Waterman Avenue, the intersection where police say protesters threw rocks and bottles at officers late Thursday, 15 people gathered to say that protesting was admirable but violence was unacceptable.
"We are very concerned about the safety of the community," said Eddie Jones, president of the Los Angeles Civil Rights Association. "We need our diapers, milk, food supplies, medical supplies, and destroying those destroys us."
Jones said he and others with him would engage in "peace monitoring," which he described as watching the protests and using his "moral force" and information freely given to appropriate authorities to discourage any illegal activity.
The gathering comes after Jones was called out to San Bernardino on Thursday night by concerned protesters. Just after midnight, Jones said he suspected that police overreaction had incited the violence, but he distanced himself from it.
Police say a group of about 120 people began throwing rocks at passing vehicles and police without provocation, and damaged one police vehicle.
After officers ordered the group to disperse, about 50 remained and threw rocks and bottles at officers from behind cinder block walls until officers eventually cleared the area, police said.
Eleven people were arrested on such charges as assault with a deadly weapon, battery, assault on a police horse, assault on a peace officer and vandalism.
The initial group of protesters were students who should know to stay peaceful, said Anita Scott, a counselor for the San Bernardino City Unified School District.
"Those are my kids, and what's on my heart right now is what I'm going to say to them," she said. "We need to teach them that you have a right to assemble -- you have a right to march, a right to protest, a right to rally. What you do not have the right to is to destroy private or public property."
Yet the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the Florida shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin that started the protests still needed to be changed, the group said. They plan to gather email addresses and encourage people to sign online petitions to end "stand your ground" laws and ask U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to review the case.
More protests, organized by different groups, were planned for Friday night and Saturday morning.
Andre Orr, 27, was open about being angry after midnight Thursday as he stood in a parking lot, where he said police had shot his cousin with a bean-bag gun.
"I'm angry about injustice," he said.
Orr said police had asked the group to leave but they felt they had a right under the First Amendment to stay.
"He didn't do anything wrong," Orr said of his cousin, complaining about the time it took paramedics to arrive.
Orr acknowledged that he had seen some protesters throw bricks or rocks, which he said was incited by comments from people driving by.
"Some (Latinos) drove by and were yelling at us, and you know how it is," Orr said. "They (protesters) didn't like that. But us, we were just standing here. It wasn't our thing."
Police said the rock and bottle throwing started without provocation. People in the crowd began tossing rocks and bottles at passing motorists, police vehicles and police personnel.
A police car was damaged by a thrown rock, and a police horse was struck.
Police drove people away with horses and riot gear, Orr said, when they were there only to ask for justice.
Most of the protesters dispersed, but police say around 50 moved behind cinder block walls and started throwing rocks and bottles at officers. Police eventually cleared the remaining people out of the area.
Once the crowd had left, police received a report of a person who had been attacked by one of the protesters. The suspected attacker, 22-year-old Byron Thomas, was arrested after a long foot chase. Police said he was on parole.
Residents listening to police scanners asked about rumors of burnt fast-food buildings and other reported damage, but none was visible in the area of the reported protest and employees said they hadn't seen any. However, one protester, who asked that his name not be used, said he had seen others light small fires in alleys "that weren't supposed to really burn anything," and fire engines raced to put out fires on Thursday night.
Thursday night's destruction came hours after a march from Perris Hill Park to Base Line and Waterman Avenue that had as many smiles as screams.
"We're walking for justice, for anything except an allowed murder," said Lati Harris, 15, of San Bernardino. "What Zimmerman got away with isn't right, and we want people to know that."
Until protesters walking along Waterman made it to Base Line, police drove along the opposite side of the road, monitoring but not interfering.
There were no signs of violence among the mostly teenage protesters at that time, but Lati said he understood why other rallies had gotten violent.
"This is natural emotion," he said.
Before sundown Thursday, a few protesters yelled profanities, and at least one 12-year-old protester said she wanted to kill Zimmerman in order to feel safe from being killed as Martin was.
A friend told her that wasn't the appropriate reaction, though. Many said they saw the exercise as a positive way to fight perceived wrong.
"I see the future of our country here, and it's promising," said a 42-year-old protester, one of the few who appeared much older than 20. "These kids care about an injustice, and they're doing their civic duty to fight it."

Support Women Artists Sunday: Joan Mitchell
Joan Mitchell (February 12, 1925 – October 30, 1992) was a "second generation" abstract expressionist painter. She was an essential member of the American Abstract expressionist movement, even though much of her career took place in France. Along with Lee Krasner, Grace Hartigan, and Helen Frankenthaler she was one of her era's few female painters to gain critical and public acclaim. Her paintings and editioned prints can be seen in major museums and collections across America and Europe.
Mitchell was born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of James Herbert and Marion Strobel Mitchell. She studied at Smith College, in Massachusetts, and The Art Institute of Chicago. After moving to Manhattan in 1947, she wanted to study at Hans Hofmann's school in New York but, according to Jane Livingston in her …

SPOTLIGHT ON SAUSALITO'S SEWERS: Addressing Our Crumbling Sewer System
On January 28th, the City Council received the most recent update on the urgent needs of the City's deteriorated, 75-year-old sewer system. City staff is developing a fiscally responsible plan to upgrade to the City's sewer pipes and infrastructure in order to protect the environment and the health and safety of Sausalito residents. As the Council continues to consider this issue over the coming months, we will keep the community updated on the problems facing our sewer system and the proposed solutions. Keep a lookout for upcoming articles that spotlight the challenges facing Sausalito's sewers.
Many of the City's 27 miles of sewer pipes were built in the 1930s and are made of clay, which breaks easily. These crumbling, deteriorated sewer pipes cannot keep hazardous sewage from spilling into our environment and polluting the Bay.
While cities across California are facing similar challenges regarding their deteriorating infrastructure, we have a responsibility to protect the health of local residents and keep the Bay clean. Ensuring we update sewer pipes and infrastructure to properly and safely transport sewage is essential to maintaining a healthy, safe community. It is the right thing to do.
The City has done everything it can to reduce sewage spills that pollute our environment. Because of our concentrated focus on sewer maintenance and repairs over the last five years, the city has been able to significantly reduce spills of raw sewage. This ongoing maintenance has kept our sewers in compliance with a 2008 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Order, avoiding tens of thousands of dollars in fines.
But spills of raw sewage are still too frequent. We need significant upgrades to our sewer pipes and infrastructure to continue to comply with the EPA's order and clean water requirements – and prevent future spills of raw sewage, protecting our waterways, beaches and the Bay.

PG&E URGES CUSTOMERS to keep metallic balloons secure for Valentine's Day Celebrations
Metallic Balloons That Contact Electric Lines Can Cause Power Outages and Injuries
With Valentine's Day festivities taking place next week, many customers will celebrate with helium-filled metallic balloons. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) urges customers to securely tie a weight to all metallic balloons containing helium to prevent them from floating away. Metallic balloons that contact overhead power lines can disrupt electric service to an entire neighborhood, cause significant property damage and potentially result in serious injuries.
Last year, metallic balloons that drifted into PG&E power lines caused more than 300 outages, affecting electric service to nearly 165,000 homes and businesses throughout Northern and Central California. Sometimes these outages interrupt electric service to important facilities such as hospitals, schools and traffic lights. A video detailing the damage that can result from metallic balloons coming into contact with power lines can be found at the following link. PG&E Mylar Balloon Safety<http://youtu.be/bP7W8gV7gmk>
The number of power outages caused by metallic balloons in PG&E's service area has more than doubled over the past decade. In order to significantly reduce this number and to help ensure that everyone can safely enjoy their Valentine's Day, PG&E reminds customers to follow these important safety tips for metallic balloons:

Sunday, February 9 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm in Gabrielson Park (Sponsored by Cass Gidley Marina)
The Sausalito Herring Festival will showcase food, beverages, information, and entertainment from the surrounding Richardson Bay. A food ticket will allow you to sample a variety of herring recipes prepared by some of The Bay Area's award-winning restaurants, while listening to local musicians including some special guests. A variety of beverages will be available. All food and beverage sales will go to benefit Cass Gidley Marina, a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization.
The Sausalito Herring Festival will include informational displays about herring, the fishery, sustainability, boating and the environment, with a focus on Richardson Bay. Celebrating the area's longstanding commitment to sustainable fishing and maritime culture, the festival will focus on the Pacific Herring, drawn straight from Richardson Bay. The Sausalito Herring Festival will have live chef demonstrations, food talks, sea stories, and more! The Festival takes place rain or shine.
Last year, the inaugural Sausalito Herring Festival was a surprising hit as more than 200 small plates of herring dishes from a variety of well-known Sausalito restaurants were served.

Porn star took nude photos to get back at Nebraska Catholic School
This isn't your typical revenge porn.
While her former classmates at Lincoln, Neb., Catholic high school Pius X contemplated going off to college, Valerie Dodds decided to stay local and start her own business: a personal adult website under her modeling name, Val Midwest.
As news of her venture spread, drama followed.
"All of the Pius kids were saying mean things and that's when I decided to go there and show them that I'm here to stay," Dodds told ABC affiliate KETV.

George Strait tops country album chart & takes second on Billboard 200
Listen to George Strait on iHeartRadio
George Strait says seeing an album top the chart is still special - even the 25th time around. But the country star isn't willing to take all the credit for the accomplishment.
Billboard.com says Love Is Everything is entering the Country Albums chart at number one, with first week sales of 125,000. It's starting its run on the all-genre Billboard 200 at number two, behind Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires of the City.
Love Is Everything has become King George's 18th top ten album on the Billboard 200, and puts him tied with Paul McCartney at number four on the list of male artists with the most top ten albums. Frank Sinatra leads the way with 33, Elvis Presley follows with 27, and Bob Dylan is third with 20.
Meanwhile, Love Is Everything is Strait's 25th album to top the country chart, and extends his record for the most country number ones. Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard are tied in second place on that list, with 15 each.
Last week George earned his 60th number one country single with "Give It All We Got Tonight," which is more chart toppers than any other artist in any musical genre. The song is the lead-off single from Love Is Everything.

Wow SV. I think sometimes many of us take what we got for granted. I have read many of your posts, and they've been helpful. I'm a poor college student, and whenever I have that extra money, I will think twice and save it for you. Hope you get back on your feet. Will be praying for you.

Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Life can be a bitch sometimes, and it pisses me off even more knowing how talented this guy is. How come he is not working for some decent IT company or something of that nature? Where employers looking @ in France? Are they blind or something? I would only understand situation like this if he never finished High School, or maybe got just High school, but if Shaman has higher education than that, then it is bunch of BS...
Is pay pal only one way to donate? I have an account there, but my debit card was closed because i had 0$ in it for more than a week, so paypal is not an option for me since i dont have a valid card on it.
Neither do i have news.
I recently sent him an email to tell that i had seen a announcement for a 1985 van to be sold for 2000. Fully equipped concerning the minimum to live.
I didn't not check the seller, so i am not sure if it still valid today. But anyway i didn't get any answer from shaman unfortunately.
I just hope nothing bad happened to him.
I've news he's still alive ... but I let him talked about his life.
He hadn't easy access to internet
This is horribly sad..I wish with all my heart that I was able to do something..but being 17 without a job, I have no financial income and thus no way to help =\.
I know that I'm new and people don't know me and vise versa, but seeing anybody in this type of situation is heart breaking.
If you ever find yourself in Georgia, USA, know that there's a home open for you.
Damn SV i didn`t realize your situation was like this /i want to say.
1. Given your situation and the fact you have no home and what you still manage to do for the community is a inspiration
2. I also find it hard to believe with your skills you cant find a pretty decent job
3. I know linux being a open source shared community is not about the money but in your situation given your skills im sure most will agree it`s about time you started profiting from what you know
Have you ever thought about designing somepretty little gui`s that can be sold, honestly there are some real dummies out there (moe than what you would believe) that would pay for lets say ... Imagine a gui were all you have to do is feed basic information like a essid and a bssid and it does the rest, discovers weather the ap is wpa or wep comes with a masive list you understand the idea all intergrated into gui i PROMISE you you would see massive profits from this imagine you could market it WIFI HACKER If you think your capable of this id be willing to put my money where my mouth is and fund it (possibly a distro that executes only that gui Nothing fancy just plain and simple for absoloute noobs IM TELLING YOU IT¬S A WINNER
Sometimes I try to fit a 16-character string into an 8byte space, on purpose.
P.s Im in a littletrouble with paypal at the moment as there was a misunderstanding
but soon i will contribute anyway
Sometimes I try to fit a 16-character string into an 8byte space, on purpose.
Wow, just came across this post today. As I have been a little absent, I have not read any posts from anyone, but I do know that shaman is a great contributor to this community. I'm probably pretty unknown in this community, as I am more of a "question asker" than "answerer". But I try to learn from people that know, like shaman.
Good Luck, and I hope by this time you have a van, as it is getting quite cold in France, I live in Paris, money is quite low at the moment, but I hope to contribute at some point. If you are in Paris at some point let me know, let me be of some help.
Again, good luck and may God be with you.

This lab is an introduction to rhythmic displacement in comping and soloing by the use of various polyrhythms and polymeters against a standard 3/4 or 4/4 time signature.
A lab for guitar principals that develops approach patterns and trains the ear for improvisation in all idioms.
A course exploring a wide range of creative, aesthetic, conceptual, and technical aspects of recording electric and acoustic guitar. Topics will include the creation of overdubbed parts in a recording session and related aspects of tone; orchestration and concept; recording media; direct recording of electric guitar; microphone use and theory applied to electric and acoustic guitar; use of equalization, compression, and other effects in a recording environment; and mixing and production concepts.

Study and performance of guitar riffs, leads, and grooves as recorded by Harrison, Lennon, and McCartney. Role of the guitar in pop/rock recording and production, including triads, four-note voicings, characteristic rhythms, phrasing, effects, layering, and the mini-orchestra concept. Developing typical accompaniment patterns for contemporary songs.

When icing a cake, either homemade or icing you purchase can be used. If you are making any decorations beyond a simple star or shell, though, you will need to add confectioners' sugar to the canned icing to stiffen it.

Okay, I admit the title is a bit misleading: the 'war' between these two tech giants has been interesting for years. The developments over the last week, however, warrant some commentary.
I've already argued that our mobile and desktop experiences would be converging, and it seems that Microsoft and Apple have both made big moves towards this just in the last week. Microsoft has unveiled what they are calling "SmartGlass," which functions as an answer to both AppleTV and Nintendo's Wii U tablet controller. Microsoft is fighting a battle on two fronts, in this case, but it gives them a unique chance to combine different services in an unprecedented way; if Microsoft can turn the Xbox 360 (or its follow up) into a competitor for Apple TV (such that it is used by non-gamers, as well), and then integrate both its Windows Phone 7 (and by this fall, WP8) and its Windows 8 Desktop platforms in a simple and useful way, then I can only see success.
But there is a trick to this, of course. You don't want to force people to purchase an entire new 'library' of tech just to get some benefits. Including iOS connectivity with the SmartGlass is smart, and probably necessary at this point. Microsoft needs to leverage the fact that tons of people are using Windows on their desktops: if they can convince people that an Xbox will enhance the experience they are already having, in addition to giving them something new (gaming, streaming onto a TV, that sort of thing), then expect a different future.
Here's the thing I find most fascinating: as someone gets more entrenched in a particular ecosystem, it seems less and less likely that they will make the switch. Once I've got a Windows 8 computer, perhaps a tablet, an Xbox, and a Windows Phone, anytime I go to upgrade, I'll likely want to stay with what works well with the rest of my system. Of course, iOS integration for SmartGlass makes a difference here, since an iPhone could interact with this whole system, at least somewhat. We'll see how comparable the experiences are, however, once the service comes out this fall.
My biggest takeaway from E3, however, is that I was underwhelmed with Sony. I'm hesitant about Nintendo's Wii U, for a variety of reasons, but at least it is something I haven't really seen before. Microsoft is pulling in their power from other markets, but Sony just seems to be coasting right now. Maybe that's enough, since they can always fall back on television and other electronics sales; Nintendo is banking on gaming, and Microsoft is banking on a fully integrated digital system. I'm not really sure what Sony's solution should be here, either. They've stepped it up in the mobile gaming world, yes, but I'm less convinced that they will have long term success. I hate to say it, but I actually am starting to think that world will be dominated by the likes of iOS, WP7/8, and Android. Lack of physical input aside, people are already carrying these devices. For everyone who has a smartphone (and kids are getting them younger and younger), this solution makes a lot of sense.
Apple held their WWDC conference yesterday, and we are seeing the combination of various iOS devices. If you own an iPad and an iPhone, they will connect seamlessly, which is a smart move. Further, OSX is beginning to look more like iOS, to the point where my previous sentence may apply to it, at least partially. Apple, too, is investing in their own cross-platform ecosystem. The price of entry is high (have you priced Apple's computers?), but the integration has already proven powerful; we'll see if Microsoft can match it this fall.

Tornados Drop Two on Final Day of Mid-South ClassicMarch 2, 2014
SPARTANBURG, S.C.-The Brevard College softball team lost a pair of tight games on the final day of the Mid-South Classic, dropping 6-4 decisions to Flagler and North Georgia.
Game 1: Flagler 6, Brevard 4
Mackenzie Conley hit a grand slam in the top of the 7th inning erase a 4-2 Tornados lead and lift the Saints to the win.
Brevard went down in order in the 7th following a leadoff walk by Kinsey Parrish.
The Tornados offensive was clicking early as they scored all four of their runs in the first two innings on their way to a 4-0 start.
The Tornados started the game with six straight hits, sparked by Kinny Davis' single from the leadoff spot. Davis scored on Dallas Heaton's single to center after moving to third on a double by Alyssa Miller.
Casey Whitaker's double to left scored Heaton and gave BC a 2-0 lead after an inning of action.
Miller, who started in the circle for BC, held the Saints off the board through the first two innings. Heaton knocked a two-run homer in the 2nd to put BC in front 4-0.
The Saints got two runs back in the 3rd on a solo homer by Molly Whittington and a BC throwing error.
Game 2: North Georgia 6, Brevard 4
The Tornados scored three runs in the 6th but ultimately couldn't overcome a 5-0 deficit after North Georgia scored five runs in the first two innings against BC starter Casey Whitaker.
Three straight doubles from Miller, Heaton and Whitaker made it a 6-4 game after six innings, but the Tornados stranded the tying run on first in the 7th.
The Tornados are back in action on Tuesday in a doubleheader at Winston-Salem State. First pitch of the opener from Salem College Field is set for 4 p.m.

First Look: Kristen Cavallari's Capsule Shoe Collection for Chinese Laundry
Pssst! Here's a sneak peek of Kristen Cavallari's spring shoe collection for Chinese Laundry! Would you wear them?
-Lucia Peters
Would you wear shoes designed by former The Hills star Kristen Cavallari? No? What if they were a collab between Kristen and Chinese Laundry? We'd give 'em a shot!
The reality TV star and new mom recently went from brand ambassador to designer with the creation of her brand-new capsule shoe collection for Chinese Laundry—and we've got to say, we're kind of loving them. Kristen unveiled her new collection at New York lounge Avenue last Wednesday; check 'em out here!
Read Emma Stone's Skincare + Makeup Secrets… Revealed!
According to WWD, the six options are mostly pastel and inspired by her own personal style. The collection includes embellished flats, a nude pump (everyone's gotta have one), a mesh ankle bootie, a wrap-around stiletto, an ankle-strap pointy heel, and a classic ballet flat.
It may be a little early to be wearing pastels right now in the dead of winter, but they'll be perfect for spring, when the collection is due to launch. Kristen also has a jewelry collection in the works (it's due to hit GLAMboutique in February), so be prepared for a spring full of Cavallari.
Tell us: Will you be picking up a pair or two of Kristen's Chinese Laundry collection, or will you pass on them?
Lucia Peters is BettyConfidential's associate editor.

But you are ok with abortion in the case of rape, I have a question.
How can you be ok with the fetus paying with it's life for the crime (rape) that was committed by the father? Why would that life be less than a life of a one night stand or a BC failure?

Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College men's basketball team goes big time on Saturday, November 29, at 2:30 p.m. as the Tornados will play in Time Warner Cable Arena, the home of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats, in Charlotte, N.C. The Tornados will take on Belmont Abbey in this very unusual neutral site. It is the first time the Tornados have ever played in an NBA Arena and will look to cap off the historical event with a win.
Saturday afternoon will be a battle of two unbeatens, as both the Tornados and Belmont Abbey will ride into Charlotte, N.C. with 3-0 records. The Tornados have defeated Warren Wilson (70-42), Lees-McRae (72-63) and Erskine (59-55). Belmont Abbey has defeated two SAC schools already this season, beating Mars Hill (105-95), Wingate (70-67). The Crusaders defeated Anderson 73-69 on Tuesday night.
The tip-off for the battle of the two unbeatens is slated for 2:30 p.m.
If you are unable to attend, you can catch the Tornados live via the radio broadcast brought to you by the "Voice of the Tornados" Rob Walden. The broadcast can be heard on the radio at WSQL 1240 AM, or on the Internet at http://live.wsqlradio.com/wsql or at www.bctornados.com.

The Eyes Have It: Jets Fly New TV Deal Amid Record-Setting Broadcast Numbers
January 18, 2011: The New York Jets are a hot ticket, and SNY knows it. On the heels of the Jets post-season victories against Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts and Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, New York-based cable network SNY and the Jets have signed a new TV and marketing deal that includes exclusive year-round in-depth access to Jets players, coaches and front office executives. In addition, SNY will continue to have the right to distribute Jets content via www.SNY.tv (subject to NFL guidelines).
Financial terms of the multi-year agreement were not disclosed.
According to the NFL, the playoff game Jan. 16 on CBS between the Jets and Patriots, drew 43.5 million viewers, making it the most-watched Divisional Playoff game ever and the most-watched show since the record-setting Super Bowl XLIV last February. In addition, Jets-Patriots and Seattle Seahawks-Chicago Bears on Fox that same day produced the most-watched Divisional Sunday in 17 years, averaging 37.8 million viewers. An average of 35.1 million viewers watched NFL games last weekend, the most ever for an NFL Divisional Weekend and a 6% increase from last season (33 million viewers). The 35.1 million average surpasses the previous Divisional record of 34.2 million in 1993.
SNY said that its coverage this week of the AFC Championship Game on Jan. 23 between the Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers would airing every press conference live and numerous Jets personnel appearing on SNY shows throughout the week. Immediately following the Jets-Steelers game, SNY said it would air a special edition of Jets Post Game Live, which features in-depth analysis, exclusive on-field and locker room interviews with key Jets players as well as exclusive access to head coach Rex Ryan's closed-door address to the team after the game.
"We are thrilled to extend our partnership with the New York Jets," Steve Raab, president of SNY, said in a statement. "The Jets have been a cornerstone of SNY's programming for the past five seasons and we're excited to continue to provide football fans with an unprecedented level of first-rate, in-depth coverage and original programming dedicated to the Jets."
According to Matt Higgins, Jets evp-business operations, "We are committed to making the team as accessible as possible to our fans. Over the last five seasons, SNY has done a tremendous job of steadily pulling back the curtain and going deeper inside Jets Nation. As a result, fans have unique access and original insights all year long."
Founded by Sterling Entertainment Enterprises, Time Warner and Comcast, SNY is available to viewers throughout New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania, and nationally on DirecTV, Dish Network and AT&T U-Verse. SNY, which launched in 2006, is also the official TV home of the New York Mets and the NCAA Big East Conference.

Katheryn - from Milpitas, CA
The most likely reason you are having problems is that your icing is too stiff. When making leaves, I like to thin my icing with corn syrup; in addition to thinning the icing it adds elasticity, which should keep your leaves from breaking. You did not mention what tip you were using to make your leaves. If you are using tips 65 through 69 and you still have problems after thinning your icing, use the edge of a small spatula to widen the opening of the tip a bit. Or, switch to tip 352 or 366; they're my favorites and some people have more success with this style of leaf tip!
