BARKER Family History
Descendants of John and Grace BarkerbyShaun L Wilson – February 2017 Barker families have resided in Hampsthwaite since the early seventeenth century and were extensive in the area during the nineteenth century. From the 1881 England Census for Hampsthwaite taken on 3rd April that year, Barker was the most popular name totalling 57 out of 457 people enumerated – 12.5% of those recorded living in Hampsthwaite at the time of that census. From the registers of Hampsthwaite parish, Barkers were in existence as early as 1610. The earliest Barker mentioned is John Barker, son of Peter who was baptised on 17th March that year.Where Hampsthwaite is mentioned in this article it refers to both village and parish. We will never know exactly where the early Barker's dwelling houses were as they are not recorded in either the parish registers or on the early census returns, but it is assumed that they lived in the village or within the parish. It was not until the England Census of 1911 that full address details were given together with the total number of children born alive to the present marriage of the head of the family.
Tom Wright reflects upon the Barker family in Hampsthwaite
As far as I can ascertain there were no Barkers in Hampsthwaite prior to the 18th century. The earliest reference I could find was to the marriage of John Barker, a tailor, to Ann Messenger (daughter of William Messenger) in the parish church sometime near the beginning of the 1700s. I don't know from whence he originated.They had several children, as did all the Barkers, but I have only recorded my own direct ancestors. They were his son James Barker (1744) & Hannah Dousland; William Barker (1781) & Catherine Swale; John Barker (1810) & Mary Nutter; George Barker (1845) & Sarah ??? who themselves produced Rowland Barker and siblings. He married Eliza Jackson (from an even older family in Birstwith) and they were my maternal Grandparents.(See also and )

Oregon State falls to Radford in CBI
Hallice Cooke and Eric Moreland each scored a career-high 23 points, but Oregon State could not overcome a 15-point first half deficit, falling 96-92 to Radford in the opening round of the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) on Wednesday night at Gill Coliseum.
Oregon State (16-16, 8-10 Pac 12) fell behind by 15-points in the first half, but would bring it to within two, 94-92 with 10 seconds to play in the contest, but it was too little too late for the Beavers, as Radford (22-12, 10-6 Big South) held on to win.
Cooke was consistent for the Beavers, going 10-of-14 from the floor and 3-for-7 from long-range. The freshman also recorded four assists and two rebounds.
Moreland posted his 22nd career double-double and seventh this season, adding 11 rebounds to his career-best scoring effort. The big man went a perfect 8-for-8 from the field and also dished out two assists.
Roberto Nelson scored a game-high 26 points on 9-of-14 shooting and distributed four assists. The senior finished his career as the fourth all-time leading scorer in Oregon State history with 1,745 points.
Angus Brandt scored all 14 of his points in the first half, keeping the Beavs afloat in the opening 20 minutes. The Australian also came up with five boards for Oregon State.
"I was surprised that we couldn't beat their energy," Oregon State head coach Craig Robinson said. "It was really disappointing and I know that our fans expect more. I am disappointed at our performance in the first half. We tried to come back in the second half but if you give a team that has won 21 games a lead like that they are going to finish it off."
Ya Ya Anderson was lights out for Radford, finishing the night with 23 points after hitting 7-of-11 from beyond the arc. R.J. Price and Javonte Green also played well for the Highlanders, each contributing 20 points to the winning effort.
Radford came out hot, taking an early 14-5 lead at the 16:07 mark. The Highlanders would keep it going, pushing out to a 38-24 advantage. With just under 10 minutes left in the opening frame, Radford had already hit 6-of-8 attempts from three-point land and made 84.2 percent of its shots (16-for-19).
At the half, the Beavers trailed Radford 57-45. The Highlanders were able to hit 24-of-35 from the field and 9-of-15 from downtown in the first 20 minutes of play. Oregon State hit 58.8 percent (20-for-34) of its shots, but Radford's impressive shooting performance kept the Beavs at bay in the first stanza.
Oregon State entered the second half on a mission, going on a 12-2 run that would narrow the deficit to four, 61-57, with 15:58 on the clock in the closing frame. Radford would answer with an 8-0 run to take a 69-57 edge at 14:54.
The Beavers would bring it to within three, 80-77, after Cooke got a jumper to fall at 8:12, but the Highlanders would not falter, keeping the lead in their grasp for the remainder of the contest.

WATCH: Tyga & Shaq star in new Reebok commercial
Tyga is sharing some screen time with Shaquille O'Neal in a new ad for the return of Reebok's "Shaqnosis" shoes. The rapper tries to compliment the NBA legend on his kicks, but the height difference causes some problems.
Thanks to the so-called "conversation lift," Shaq is able to hear the compliment and crack a joke about his shoes being made before the Young Money star was even born. Fans can pick up their own pair of "Shaqnosis" starting today. Tyga, meanwhile, is also promoting his line of shoes dubbed the Reebok Classic "T-Raww."

KLA-Tencor has announced a new generation in the Surfscan family of wafer defect and surface quality inspection systems: the Surfscan SP3. As the first unpatterned wafer inspection platform to incorporate deep-ultraviolet (DUV) illumination, the Surfscan SP3 systems feature advances in sensitivity and throughput over their predecessor, the Surfscan SP2XP. The Surfscan SP3 platform is also designed for extension to the next wafer size: 450mm.
The Surfscan SP3 system is designed to help develop and manufacture substrates for 28nm and sub-28nm devices. KLA-Tencor's engineers have built the Surfscan SP3 inspection system with the DUV sensitivity and throughput needed to reliably identify critical defects and surface quality issues inline during substrate manufacturing, the vendor said.
In the IC fab, manufacturers must also be able to monitor rough and smooth unpatterned films after deposition and chemical mechanical polish (CMP) to ensure that process tools are not adding defects. The Surfscan SP3 leverages its DUV wavelength, special apertures and multiple illumination and collection channels to address 28nm node requirements for defect detection and classification on blanket films at production speeds. The SP3 also offers a module that inspects the back side of wafers for defects that might deform the wafer shape during photolithography.

A few months ago, I wrote a post on "Poetically Dwelling on the Earth as a Mortal," which was in honor of my favorite undergraduate philosophy professor, James Edwards. Dr. Edwards was the most well-known, articulate, and matter-of-fact of atheist at my college. And suffice it to say that in the late 1990s in South Carolina there were very few "out" atheists. I had a few good friends in high school that were self-professed agnostics, but Dr. Edwards was — if not the first atheist I knew well — th … [Read more...]

Mark's daily salad is so good that it's easy to eat it every single day of the year. But it's nice to change things up from time to time, so with the Primal Challenge [1] in mind I wanted to share a rustic salad recipe that's both tasty and uncomplicated. I frequently use it as an alternative to the Big Ass Salad [2]. This salad is not "technically" a salad in the conventional way, as it contains no leafy greens, but it's easy to put together and complements most poultry and seafood. The dish itself would also make a great midday snack.
The recipe starts with with healthy fats. Extra virgin olive oil [3] and pine nuts [4] are the central sources of nourishment, while fresh thyme gives the salad added flavor and aromatic oils. The raspberries, which are optional, add a delicious tartness. If you can get your hands on a fresh handful to throw in, it'll be worth it, especially with the lime juice spritzed on top. Jicama [5], in all its wonderful versatility, provides crispness to the mixture that reminds me of kohlrabi or cucumber, but more satisfying.
A tip about using herbs: Chopping herbs can bruise them, so rather than use a kitchen knife for the garnish, small kitchen scissors should be used to snip the fluffy leaves (if you don't have kitchen scissors use sewing scissors). Or just pluck them off by hand. Sprinkle small leaves liberally over the final dish and enjoy this nutrient-packed component to your daily Primal routine.
How's that for a twist on a daily salad?
½ jicama, peeled and diced
5 sprigs fresh thyme
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Pine nuts
Carrots, diced
Fresh lime
Raspberries (optional)
To make the thyme-infused olive oil, pour oil into a glass container (or bowl) and add thyme sprigs, allowing enough time for flavors to blend (approximately 30 minutes minimum, longer = stronger)
In medium bowl, mix jicama and carrots together, adding raspberries if desired.
Sprinkle with leaves of fresh thyme and pine nuts. Spritz with fresh lime juice and oil as desired, mixing ingredients together with a fork. Serves one.

I don't know if y'all knew this but, I used to be pretty good at this SEO crap. But after taking a few years off I an only assume I missed a lot of super important stuff. I heard something about a panda bear, some scheme-a-ma-jig, so-cal votes and facebook smears…
Seems important.
Do uh, links, still work for SEO? Anybody out there still spinning and winning? From what I have read, every type of automation has been systematically weeded out and all sites using it have been banned right? We need to "hand-job" everything in order to succeed?
One thing's for sure, from the research I've done since I've been back, I can say this: there's still just as much noise, fear mongering, ass licking, and bullshit being pushed from these so called "experts" as there was back in the day when I was ignoring them.
I call bullshit.
As much as some nuances have changed, the basics are still the same. Get links. The bigger the better. Get authority. And anchor text still works. Search engineers always find ways to close holes in their algorithms that have been exposed time and time again, right? But for some reason there still are holes so big you can still drive a Mack truck through them. And some of the new stuff they're introducing is even easier to game in it's early stages. *cough* *choke* *automated google +1 votes* *fart*
In all my years, I've played in and dominated very competitive verticals, and I have never had a single site banned. Because common sense tells you don't get too spammy, and don't be too obvious, and don't be evil. Just because you can flare up some behind the proxy scraper / spinner / poster / pinger tools to harvest 30,00 links doesn't mean it's a good idea. But competitive sense should tell you that just because a few big time SEO names or search engine employees at some expensive drunk fest glad-handing circle jerk (I mean conference, in case you didn't catch the reference) tell you not to do something, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WILL NOT WORK. You just have to get a feel for where the line is and don't cross it… too often. And if you do cross the line, do it by a tip toe, not by a mile. Don't be the Leeroyyyyyy Jenkins of link building.
There are safe ways to be aggressive. Even now, when everybody tells you it's impossible. Don't run around like an idiot blowing shit up with a hydrogen bomb where a single sniper should would do the trick. And don't listen to these fools trying to throw you off course. Get links. Good ones. Lots of em. And rank Up!

In order to get the best out of this release you need to be using a version of XBMC built in the in the last week or so (since the changes to XBMC to allow background loading of multiimages). A new version of t3ch was released for xbox on 21st May, any earlier t3ch builds will not work with the skin.
If you do decide to use it without an up to date version of XBMC then you'll probably find that none of the backgrounds appear. You have been warned.
If you do find any problems or have any suggestions on improvements to the skin please describe them as fully as possible and give screenshots where possible.
Have fun and enjoy!

The skin itself does not contain any real background images since most users will already have a set of background images that they like (for MediaStream and Aeon skins etc) and I assume most users will be using fanart for the Movies and TV Shows anyway.
I have a nice set of custom background images that I use and aim to provide download links so that users can use these if they want.

This breastfeeding article makes me feel sad
I have been reading an article written for abc News entitled 'Breastfeeding: Balanced Idealism with Realism'.
I suppose that it's clear from the title that it is not going to be totally pro-breastfeeding but after reading this article it made me feel sad. How does it make you feel?
I really believe that exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months and then continued breastfeeding beyond this is the best start in life a baby can have. This doesn't mean I don't understand the struggles and difficulties breastfeeding can bring - I have known these myself only too well. The article brought back to me something my health visitor said when she visited me at home with my 3 week old baby. She said that, whilst exclusive breastfeeding is great, in today's society with the other pressures and needs we have it doesn't really work (to exclusively breastfeed) and giving a baby a couple of bottles of formula day doesn't make any difference.
I'm glad I didn't listen to her and sought advice from a Lactation Consultant which enabled me and my baby to establish breastfeeding. I wish I had experienced better support from my health visitor. I know breastfeeding isn't always easy and doesn't always even feel natural at first but it was made to provide a baby with what they need in their early life. Is this being idealistic, as the article suggests? I hope not.

Yes, it is a bit sad that someone would think that the breastfeeding message is "propaganda." I mean come on, it has been shown to be of a huge benefit and as you pointed out LJ, although it doesn't feel natural at first it is the best way to provide nurishment to our babies.
That being said, I can also understand the other side of the coin on this issue because I was only able to breast feed my boys for 4 weeks. My milk supply never fully came in and I had no idea how to increase it. The lactation specialists I had at the hosptial weren't as helpful as I would have hoped. Looking back I know that I probably gave up too quickly but I was sleep deprived, my hormones were out of wack, I was worried that the boys were getting enough, was frustrated and quite frankly felt like a failure. What mother can't feed her own babies, right? It was horribly emotional and I cried over it all the time. When I had my after visit I was told that breastfeeding is absolutely the best but if it was putting too much stress on me and wasn't enjoyable I should stop -- two weeks later after one of my boys ended up in the hosital to have hyernia surgery, I stopped. I do regret it and often wonder if I had only had one baby if things might have worked out differently. However, I know MANY Mums of twins who successful breastfeed until 6 months and well beyond that.
In the beginning I also felt looked down upon by breastfeeding mums who made it to the 6 month and beyond. Like, "Why couldn't you do it?" "Whats wrong with you?" "You didn't really try!" of course no one said those things to me but that's how I felt. Looking back I think it was my own insecurity, disappointment and guilt that made me feel that way -- no one else.
Though I wasn't able to breast feed as long as I would have liked I am very proud of those who can, those who fight through the chapped sore nipples, battle painful mastitus, and lose lots of sleep! You are my heros!!! What you do for your children is amazing and don't let anyone convince you that it's not -- I doubt they could anyway

Dear DoubleSunshine,
Thank you for your comments on this. You absolutely should not feel guilty about when you stopped breastfeeding - I am in awe of you feeding twins for 4 weeks. I honestly don't think I could have done what you have if my first babies had been twins. You should feel very proud.
It's a real shame you didn't feel you had enough support though. I wonder if there are some breastfeeding groups exclusively aimed at the mums of twins out there?
I feel that proper breastfeeding support is what is needed to help all mums through the early stages. Both through peer support and through healthcare professionals. I hope that articles like the one I linked to above don't have a negative effect on new mums.

Double Sunshine - you have nothing to feel guilty for. Breastfeeding one baby can come with challenges, so two babies could definitely be challenging. It is sad that you didn't have the support you truly needed. When I hear mums say they weaned much earlier than they wanted too, I don't think anything bad about them. I think that it is sad that they didn't get the support they needed. I weaned early with one of my children and gave formula, which was due to emotional issues and not having the support I needed at the time (with breastfeeding).
In response to the article, I dislike it being made to seem as though breastfeeding past six months or a year is unrealistic. It is very realistic and very possible. The message needs to be for mums to get support, not to be put down or made to feel guilty, but to be given support at a time when they are overwhelmed, hormonal, and unsure of what to do.

Thanks LJ and Jessica! You ladies are wonderful
I agree, I think that the issues that do arrise have more to do with lack of support and not getting enough information. I also think it's ridiculous when I hear stories of mums getting dirty looks if they are in public breastfeeding! That makes me so mad.
I think for most women if they have a strong desire to breastfeed 6 months is probably very realistic but if there is a reason that they can't they shouldn't feel bad about it -- it's hard not to though. Guilt comes with being a loving caring Mum I think
I do hope that this and ohter articles like this do not discourage mums from trying.

A Tribute to John Hughes
On a sunny Thursday in Los Angeles, a smiling Jennifer Aniston arrived at ELLE's cover shoot in her carefree uniform of cargo pants, a tank top, and wet hair. With the help of the styling team, the star quickly changed into a leather YSL corset and slouchy Ralph Lauren cream trousers. In keeping with her relaxed personal style, Aniston then selected a pair of vintage Levi's, a white T-shirt by Emporio Armani, and a Balenciaga biker jacket, which she bought after the shoot. Favoring homemade blueberry smoothies and celery soup when eating at home, the famously health-conscious actress—who just partnered with Smartwater on a limited-edition bottle label that will benefit Action for Healthy Kids, a charity that educates children and teens on good hydration and eating habits—enjoyed lunch while listening to her favorite song of late, T.I. and Rihanna's "Live Your Life." Before dashing to an OmniPeace event benefiting abused women in the Congo, Aniston threw on a loose T-shirt, gray jeans, and a pair of boots and jumped in her car—an all-American girl through and through.

Claudia Hamilto - from Wilmington, NC
Unless the recipe specifically states the type of milk to use, you can assume that the recipe was created using whole milk, and will be the best when made with whole milk. That said, I often substitute nonfat, skim milk for my recipes - it's usually the only milk I keep in the refrigerator! Whole milk has more fat, which makes baked good more tender and moist. Most people, however, won't be able to notice a difference unless they have a sample of each side by side.

Features Include Smart Data Access and Expanded Cloud Deployment Options; SAP Completes Integration of Sybase Data Management With SAP HANA®
ORLANDO, Fla. - SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today unveiled new breakthroughs in the in-memory SAP HANA® platform, including the latest innovations in service pack 6 (SP6). SAP HANA is a completely re-imagined platform that transforms transactions, analytics, predictive and text sentiment processing so that businesses can operate in real time. With this service pack, SAP is introducing new SAP HANA® smart data access technology to help enterprises dynamically derive real-time insights across heterogeneous sources such as Hadoop. New in-memory spatial capabilities in SAP HANA will help businesses uncover richer and meaningful signals from business and geospatial data. The expanded SAP HANA® One service will help customers and independent software vendors (ISVs) accelerate their time to value through flexible cloud deployment models. The completion of the integration of Sybase data management with SAP HANA will further transform customers' end-to-end data management landscape. The announcement was made at SAPPHIRE® NOW, held May 14–16, 2013, in Orlando, Florida.
"With SAP HANA, we have embarked on a journey to continuously re-think and transform how we access, interact with and analyze data to answer any question of any complexity in real-time," said Dr. Vishal Sikka, member of the Executive Board of SAP AG, Technology & Innovation. "Breaking down the unnecessary divide between OLTP and OLAP has only been the beginning. We will continue to re-invent real-time experiences by bringing the power of SAP HANA to more data varieties, sources and deployment options to enable enterprises to run as fast as our imaginations."
Smarter Data Access for Hadoop and Other Heterogeneous Data Sources
SAP HANA smart data access is the data virtualization technology in SAP HANA that enables dynamic data queries across heterogeneous relational and non-relational database systems such as Hadoop, SAP® Sybase® Adaptive Server® Enterprise (SAP Sybase ASE), SAP® Sybase® IQ and other third-party data warehouses. SAP is bringing the power of the SAP HANA platform to data virtualization, which will simplify data queries across heterogeneous sources while optimizing response time based on where data is stored and how it is used. SAP HANA smart data access helps customers build real-time Big Data applications with fast and secure query access to data across their business networks while minimizing unnecessary data transfers and data redundancy.
Spatial Data Processing for Richer Insights
SAP will further expand the SAP HANA platform with the introduction of new spatial data processing capabilities to combine geospatial data with business data, adding a new dimension to real-time business applications. Customers and ISVs will be able to process combinations of spatial, predictive and text analysis results within one SQL to simplify the development of intelligent, intuitive location-based solutions. Additionally, SAP HANA customers will be able to utilize geo-content at no additional charge, allowing customers to seamlessly develop and deploy spatially based solutions using native in-memory processing, mapping content and services.
These new spatial capabilities, content and services will particularly help industries that require real-time and mission-critical location solutions for planning, monitoring and analytics with a new level of performance and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). For example, energy infrastructure companies can use spatial processing capabilities in SAP HANA to identify and take action on high-risk pipeline components based on numerous variables in real time instead of days, thereby reducing potential outages, maintenance costs and risk of catastrophic failure.
Additional capabilities in the SAP HANA service pack will include:
Expanding Cloud Deployment Options
SAP HANA One, which was introduced a few months ago as a cloud offering, has gained more than 600 customers and provides the same leading capabilities as the on-premise SAP HANA platform. The new version of SAP HANA One is packaged with access to a trial edition of SAP Lumira™ software and sample public datasets to help analysts jumpstart their ad hoc BI projects in the cloud. SAP also announced the premium edition of SAP HANA One, the newest addition to the cloud-based offering that is available on SAP HANA Marketplace. The premium edition of HANA One is packaged with SAP HANA Cloud Integration to provide integration with SAP systems and heterogeneous sources. This edition is suited for existing SAP customers to run SAP® Business Suite and SAP NetWeaver® Business Warehouse (SAP NetWeaver BW) applications or custom applications in the public cloud with an annual subscription contract.
Complete Integration With Sybase Data Management
SAP announced a roadmap on April 10, 2012, to integrate Sybase technologies into a coherent real-time data platform centered on SAP HANA. Today, SAP is announcing the completion of the integration of SAP Sybase ASE, SAP® Sybase® IQ, SAP® Sybase® Event Stream Processor (SAP Sybase ESP), SAP® Data Services, SAP® Sybase® SQL Anywhere®, SAP® Sybase® Replication Server® and SAP® Sybase® PowerDesigner® with SAP HANA.
SAP HANA continues to push the boundaries of speed and innovation demanded by modern, real-time businesses. The open platform approach allows companies to more easily leverage SAP HANA to interoperate within their existing data center infrastructures. The latest enhancements to SAP HANA continue to provide additional value with smarter in-memory data virtualization, robust spatial data processing and simpler appliance architecture. By providing an open, integrated platform for core business applications such as SAP Business Suite, SAP NetWeaver BW and customer-built applications, SAP HANA empowers customers to run their business in real time within the window of opportunity needed to transact, analyze and predict instantly and proactively.

The large-scale coastal restoration projects included in the state's master plan for coastal restoration and protection will impact the way people live and work in south Louisiana. Although science will play a large role in what gets built, how it gets built and where, people living in south Louisiana and elsewhere have an interest in that process as well.
Since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed the National Environmental Policy Act, there has been a process in place that allows for public comment on many major projects.
However, a concern about this process, and other public comment opportunities on large projects, is that the public can comment on a plan only after it's been formed instead of being allowed a chance for input throughout the process. That's starting to change.
Patty Whitney, community organizer with Bayou Interfaith Shared Community Organizing, praised recent efforts by the state to include the public in planning for the state's master plan for coastal restoration and protection as a change from past practices.
"We're paying the price because we've never been part of the planning process," she said during the State of The Coast conference in New Orleans on June 26.
The Bayou Interfaith Shared Community Organizing is a faith-based nonprofit group that works in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes to help communities organize to address local concerns.
"Public comment is after the fact," she said. "It limits access to the general public. This promotes adversarial roles."
Instead, public involvement means talking to the people who live and work in the area and using that local knowledge for the benefit of the project. Those conversations need to happen throughout the process, she said.
To get individuals involved at the beginning of the process saves time and money in the long run, as opposed to having people get upset when they see the developed plan for the first time. If they're involved, they may not agree with the entire outcome, but at least they'll have a better understanding of how that endpoint was reached, she said.
Whitney said the practice of limited public input seems to be changing, pointing to the state's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority's work on the master plan as an example. She praised state officials for the effort they made to include public input throughout the planning process and showing through the plan that they listened and considered those comments and advice.
The release of the state's master plan for coastal restoration and protection prior to being presented to the state legislature for approval was a tense time because some areas of the coast saw very little activity in their areas included in the plan, but ultimately the master plan passed through the state Legislature unanimously.
Whitney said that's the value of getting public input and not just after-the-fact comments.
If you reach out to the public, you get new allies, she said, noting that the Coastal Planning and Protection Authority found that out when the master plan was presented to the state Legislature for approval. Although not every area got everything it wanted, people understood what had gone into the process, "and those new allies helped push through the master plan that passed through the state Legislature unanimously," she said.

Grooveshark has no limits. What are these idiots thinking? This isn't Europe. Spotify may dominate across the pond but they will get crushed stateside.
Spotty has a massive outpouring of good PR working for them right now, but they'll get stonewalled eventually by the iTunes Match + Pandora/Last.fm + Grooveshark/MOG/Rhapsody/Rdio combo in the States, I bet... or they'll get bought out.
No!! That's a kid's comparison.
I have used all the apps and my iTune itself has 2.8 TB of music but nothing compares to spotify.
I mean it.
Use it for few weeks n see if you can let it go.
I can't .......
I signed up for free then unlimited but premium is the way to go.
Hey 9.99 is not much for the stuff we get with premium.
I have searched and listen to those songs, I could never imagine I will find it in a app.
Free/ unlimited doesn't attract me, because still I have to sync my iPhone, so its like iTune but I don't own those songs.
It does happen to me that all of sudden I remember a song, which I really wanna listen at that moment but I can't because I don't have in my iPod or in my spotify free/UL.
And by the time I get back home.
The charm is gone.
But with premium I have every song with me.
And I am lucky to have my grand fathered unlimited data plan.
This is my point of view, but I will never dare to compare spotify with any other apps.
They deserve all the credit and my $9.99 every month.
Yesterday! Me too.....
Who needs an invite?
Update: Spotify gives Premium (maybe the same for Unlimited) subscribers 4 invites. I've used mine up, so if you got one of mine, spread the love to the others here.
[email protected], thank you.

Please and thank you.

WATCH: Kim Kardashian explains how she kept 'Vogue' cover a secret
That Vogue cover of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West was a shock for many last week — including, even, Kim's own sisters!
"So, it was this top-secret mission trying to keep out all of my sisters and everyone," Kim said during a sit-down on "Late Night With Seth Meyers," which aired last night.
"That seems like it would be the hardest part," Seth pointed out. "I can't imagine there's anything you could do that your sisters wouldn't know about. Were they trying to find out?"
"They were a little suspicious," Kim confessed, "but I just said Kanye was shooting something at my mom's house and it was really private, and just kind of blamed it on him. I don't keep secrets!"
Seth added: "I bet in any situation where anything suspicious goes down, you can go, 'It's Kanye,' and they're like, 'Oh, OK.'"
"I do that a little too often," Kim replied.

Oktar and his Scientific Research Foundation (SRF) claim his theory is gaining ground. "When you look at the impact of Atlas Of Creation, for example, as far as Turkey is concerned, 90 per cent of the Turkish population no longer believes in Darwinism and that rate is 80 per cent in Europe," he said.

I read her blog and I am so sad for what they are going through. Just checking to see if anyone new anything other than that. Thanks.
The last I heard she was going home on Monday and was on Hospice care. Rose and I had emailed back and forth because we only live about 3+ hours apart. I had hoped to get down to see her after her resection but then the resection didnt happen and things seem to have gone down very fast since then. I emailed her Mom but havent heard back yet. If I hear anything else I'll post it. I know Rose and her family would appreciate all our prayers.
This disease is so cruel, I know my mother didn't know what hit her, it is like a Mack truck coming on. We watched her slip away just like Rose's family, it is the hardest thing to bear.
Jamie....thank you so much for passing on this information. I am sending all my love to Rose and her family.
I am praying and thinking of her every minute...hoping she is not suffering. Having been through this, you almost wish you could be there to help. I know her sisters and family will help her and be with her.
I just read her blog. Her sister writes that she is still hanging in there. She was able to see her son Levon graduate from high school. However, she is in the process of dying.
That makes me so sad.
I am extremely sad.

Paul Ryan opens a door to the Congressional Black Congress
If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound? If Paul Ryan visits communities to try to solve some of the most vexing problems facing our nation, will the media cover it?
The chairman of the House Budget Committee has been on a yearlong listening tour to hear firsthand how our tax dollars affect those most at risk in the safety net that comprises much of our social-welfare spending. Beginning in January 2013 in his home state, the Wisconsin Republican set out to meet with 12 providers of hope across the country, ranging from Pastor Darryl Webster's Boot Camp at the Emmanuel Missionary Baptist Church in Indianapolis to Curtis Watkins' National Homecomers Academy in the District of Columbia. Most of those whom Ryan met were faith-based institutions in some of America's most distressed communities. But what inspired Ryan to engage in such an outreach in the first place?
I visited with Ryan this week to discuss what he's learned. He told me that he was inspired by what he'd seen and heard; the dedication, determination, and spirit of those most in need of help working to better themselves and those in their communities. When I asked what had surprised him the most, he immediately noted that he had been struck by the generosity of people to roll up their sleeves and help those less fortunate than themselves—the businessman willing to offer a job to someone from a distressed community and then vouch for the individual looking for a hand up rather than a handout.
I was further surprised to hear that Ryan had just returned from a closed-door meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus—a meeting convened at their request. My first instinct was that Ryan had been taken to the woodshed for having the temerity to say the following a little more than a month ago:
[There is a] tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning to value the culture of work.

Fire Blight Risk
Posted: March 29, 2012
Fire blight bacteria overwinter in the margins of cankers on branches and trunks. Once the temperature reaches about 65°F, bacteria begin to multiply and appear on the outsides of the cankers in drops of clear to amber-colored ooze. The bacteria are spread to blossoms primarily by rain with some transmission by flies and ants. Blossom-to-blossom transmission is carried out mainly by bees and other insects that visit the flowers. Insects also transmit bacteria to growing shoots. If the temperature is 65°F or above and relative humidity is 60 percent or more, or there is rain, new infections can occur. At 75°F, blossom blight and shoot blight will be evident in 4 to 5 days. Bacterial ooze appears on the new infections soon after the symptoms, providing additional sources of bacteria for new infections. In early to midsummer, during prolonged periods of muggy weather, blighted shoots and spurs, infected fruit, and new branch cankers all may have droplets of ooze on them.
The bacteria usually enter the flowers through natural openings such as stomates. Wounds are also important entry points to leaves, shoots, and fruit. Aphids, leafhoppers, lygus bugs, and other insects with piercing mouthparts may transfer fire blight bacteria directly into susceptible tissues. Wounds from hail often lead to a severe outbreak of fire blight. Any fresh wound can serve as an entry point.

Zara's Story (second birth, planned HB, born in car!)
I was due to give birth on the 10th March. Malachi was born 4 days early, so I was waiting for this bub to be born early March. Id been having pre-labour contractions, but the due date came and went. I was tired, sore and frustrated. I was drinking loads of raspberry leaf tea. I had acupuncture, which seemed to make things pick up, but it didnt last. S (now ex-husband) kept offering to help (Malachis labour started 6 hours after we had sex- TMI?) It got to the 19th and I was so over it, so I agreed.
Contractions (real contractions!) started less than an hour later and went through the night, but not strong enough to stop me sleeping. The next morning they seemed to stop around 9am, then started again at around 1pm, getting regular and stronger around 3pm.
They stayed regular and increased in strength throughout the rest of the afternoon. We had dinner, S gave Malachi a bath and I lay down with him (Malachi) to put him to sleep. I had two contractions while I was lying down (Malachi goes to sleep pretty quickly) and they were quite painful! I decided lying down was definitely a bad idea amazing I spent so much time on the hospital bed for Malachis birth.
Mum, S and I hung around in the lounge room and I rocked and leaned forward through the contractions. This worked for quite a few hours, then I decided to get in the bath. Its a narrow little bath and wasnt the most comfy thing ever, but the warm water was lovely so I stayed there for a while, kneeling then rocking on all fours through the contractions.
After I got out of the bath I stood and leaned forward through each contraction, reciting Horton Hatches the Egg in my head to distract myself. After a while I progressed to stomping around the family room singing One Grey Elephant in my head in time to my stomping.
Around 3am I started to feel pushy so Mum and S put the sheets and towels down on the floor and the couch in the lounge room, and we went back in there. Things started to get really painful, and I was yelling and eventually screaming through each contraction, and pushing with all my might. I asked S to wake Malachi, as hed wanted to see the baby come out and said he wanted to be woken if he was sleeping. He stayed in bed awake for a while, a bit freaked out by my noise, but eventually came out to watch. In between contractions I reassured him that I was OK, that my muscles were just doing lots of hard work to push the bubba out. S said to him that I was making cow noises, but I reckon the only time a cow made noises like that was when it was being killed!
When I started feeling pushy, mum had done a VE and after an hour of pushing, she did another one. The head was still in the same place, bub hadnt moved down at all. Mum was thinking that we should probably head to the hospital, but didnt think Id be too happy with that suggestion, so decided to give it another half hour.
I was absolutely exhausted by this time, had been hyperventilating and so I was all pins-and-needley and felt like I was getting no rest between the contractions. In between contractions I was sobbing no more, no more! When I felt another contraction starting, Id scream NO!!!
Mum had been checking the fetal heart rate regularly, and it had been around 120-130. She did another check and it had dropped to 100. We decided to go to the hospital. I was crying and saying, No more, hospital fix it, though in the small still-rational part of my brain, I was thinking, what are they going to do to fix it? I have to keep pushing til theres a bub here.
S got the car ready and got Malachi in. As he was doing that, I had another contraction and my membranes ruptured. As soon as I got in the car (kneeling backwards on the front seat, with Mum in the back leaning over and holding me up) I had another contraction. It felt so different to the pushing contractions of the last hour, with the membranes ruptured I felt like I was making progress, and I felt bubs head right there. I said, Head was there, head gone now.
Its only a 3 or 4 minute drive to the hospital from our house, but about 30 seconds later I had another contraction. I pushed as hard as I could (never even thought about trying to wait to get to the hospital) and said Head, head, baby! and she was born, at 4.22am on the 21st March.
S said What do I do? and Mum said Pull over!
Bub was coughing and spluttering so I was holding her (we didnt know it was her yet) upside down and rubbing her back. Mum and I noticed she had a bit of meconium on her so we decided to keep going to the hospital.
When we got there DH went in to let them know what had happened, and apparently they (two midwives) stood there having a big discussion about who was going to get the wheelchair and who was going to get the blankets. DH came back out and we checked if we had a Rowan or Zara, and it was Zara.
Eventually one midwife came out with the wheelchair and got DH to come round and cut the cord. I was still kneeling on the front seat. The other midwife turned up with the blankets, and Zara and I were wheeled into one of the delivery rooms.
They asked if I wanted synto to speed up the placenta, and really I didnt, but I was so exhausted and hey, I had a baby now, so I said whatever. They gave me the synto and one midwife started pulling on the cord. She made some comment about how it wasnt ready to come away yet, but kept pulling. The cord snapped. She said Well it was a very thin cord.
A doctor turned up and explained that theyd have to manually remove the placenta. He said he was going to give me some sedation, as it wasnt a very comfortable procedure (!) and if he couldnt get it out theyd have to take me up to theatre.
They put a drip in and my head felt a bit funny. I passed out and they removed the placenta, but I had no idea Id even been out, and no one told me that theyd been successful. I was under the impression that the drip had to finish and they were coming back to do the placenta thing. Mum, Malachi and S went home to have breakfast etc, and get some clothes for Zara and I as Id had a singlet and a towel on when we got in the car.
So I sat there with this drip in my hand holding my beautiful girl, thinking about how I really hoped I didnt have to go to theatre for the placenta removal. Zara had a good 20 min feed and was zonked out, but this silly midwife (not one of the original ones) kept coming in and banging and crashing everything, making her jump in her sleep. The first time she asked if I wanted a shower I said no, as I wanted to wait til I had some clothes to put on afterwards. She brought me some breakfast, the forms to decline the Hep B and Vit K shots, and all the Centrelink, Medicare etc forms. She offered me a shower again and I decided it would be a good idea, as I had no idea what time everyone was coming back to get us!
Not long after the shower Mum, Malachi and S turned up and we started getting ready to go home. The midwife told us that the doctor needed to do a check on Zara before we could go. We went down to the waiting room in the maternity ward to wait. It was 9.15, the doctor was upstairs checking on other patients, but would apparently be down by 10. After a while Malachi was getting a bit over it, so Mum took him home and we kept waiting.
At 10.30 I said to S that wed give the doctor til 11, then go home. He was all like, Oh can we do that? No, duh, the hospital can detain us against our will
Anyway at 11 we went up to the midwife office thingo and said we were going. Obviously the doctor wasnt that busy, cos the midwife went to apparently get the form for us to sign to leave, and came back with the doctor.
He did his check, which made Zara grumpy, and we went home, with me in the back with Zara cos the front seat was still all wet!

What a birth story! Incredible. And how unique!
Your story made me feel positive about birth but also very sad again (like with your birth story of Malachi) about some of the 'care' you received in hospital. I am sorry that no-one communicated with you properly about the placenta removal - I am sorry that this affected your first hour with your baby girl. After you had powerfully birthed her on your own it is a tragedy that the hospital could not meet your needs and give you the personal, tailored, family-centred care that every woman and baby deserve.
Thank you again for sharing the special story of Zara's birth (also love this name!) here.
Warm wishes,

I wish we'd turned around and driven back home after she was born, or even if S had taken 5 mins longer to get the car sorted out, she'd have arrived before we left. Hindsight is a wonderful thing :P
I think the mistake I made here was consciously deciding to push, instead of just letting my body do it when it was ready, which is pretty much what happened when she was actually born. I'm determined, this time, not to actually push at all. Foetal ejection reflex is super cool and I want that to happen again ^_^

That sounds like a great birth plan, Asrathiel.
Have you read this my Michael Odent on the foetal ejection reflex? Fascinating stuff.
Best wishes,

Feminism | Posted by Anonymous on 07/8/2013
Moving On From The Past
The summer after my freshman year of high school, I was sexually abused, harassed and almost raped. I do not want to go into how — it's just not something I want to relive. I told my mom when I was a junior. Even then my friend had to send it to her in a note because I could not. After she got the note, she called me while I was at school and I told her what happened and who had done it. She hung up and called the authorities, even though I said I was okay.
Up until that point I had lived my life perpetually scared I would see him again and that he would hurt me. The last time I heard from him was sophomore year …

Organic farmers forego the use of certain petro-chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and weed killers in favor of more environmentally benign inputs and techniques. Organic agriculture combines both old and new ideas and practices to produce healthy, tasty vitamin-rich crops. Why Should I Buy Organic? There are many reasons from the environmental costs of chemical agriculture to the desire to support family farms. Also, many consumers say organics just taste better!

If you would like a second opinion on your test post it here.
Anyone can tweak here that knows how. I am on this thread almost daily and will try and make sure I get to everyone's test in a timely manner. Sometimes it's hard for me, so please remember that I have a family and other obligations outside of BBC (BabyCenter) and while I love to tweak people's tests, I do it for fun and for free. I am in no way giving you medical advice nor confirming your BFP. I will tell you if there is a line or not and that will hopefully give you an idea as to where this cycle is taking you. Please do not misconstrue this opinion as medical advice. As always, please get your finaly say from your health care practitioner.
What is a pregnancy test tweak? - Tweakers use various photo programs to analyze your HPT (home pregnancy test) to see if we can pull out a faint pink line for an early BFP!!
So if any of you have a test you would like to have tweaked, post it here and we would be happy to give you a tweak! Most of the time our tweaks are very accurate however, remember that we tweak for fun and are not doctors :)
Typical Tweaking "Rules": Please take your pictures within 10 minutest o prevent drying to help with accurate tweaking.
We do not tweak blue dye tests. They are notorious for false positives and are too unreliable. Please follow up any line on blue dye with pink and I will be happy to tweak it.
PLEASE take your photos with the macro setting on your camera. If a picture is too blurry, I cannot give you an accurate tweak. Also, don't worry about getting too close to the test. We can zoom in and crop if need be.
Photo Tips: Upload your photos to your Baby Center photos and then cut and paste them in this thread OR upload them to Photobucket (free) and copy the HTML code on this thread!! Also tweakers please do not invert test as it gives false hope.

REDLANDS - The San Bernardino County Museum Express invites you to climb aboard for a celebration of trains next weekend.
The museum, located at 2024 N. Orange Tree Lane, will have large and small model train layouts, artifacts and family activities from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 19 and 20.
Pacific Coast Modular Club members, Orange County Modular Railroaders and Antelope Valley N-Scalers will install and display large layouts with running trains, scenery and miniature buildings during the two-day event, organizers said.
"The model layouts are fascinating. The miniature cities, streets, buildings, people, animals and vehicles are astounding, and to see the trains run on the tracks is such fun," said Michele Nielsen, the museum's curator of history.
Other models will include a traveling circus, a monorail and trolleys, she said, adding, "The circus train...(is) a wonderful series of train cars, animals, performers and equipment, representative of old-time circuses, much like the ones that rode the rails into communities in our county 100 years ago."
Additional activities include the chance to view and inspect real train artifacts and participate in special train-related crafts from creating one's own logo for their imaginary railroad or 2D locomotive.
Visitors also can see the progress of the restoration of of the museum's Southern Pacific Locomotive 2825 and AT & SF Caboose 1333 in the courtyard near the museum's Exploration Station.
Nearly 1,800 train lovers attend the two-day event annually, said museum spokesman Jennifer Reynolds.
On Sunday, the Redlands Fourth of July Band will perform two 30-minute concerts of train-related music in the museum's courtyard at 1:30 and 2:15 p.m. Selections will include "Put Me Off at Redlands" and "I've Been Working on the Railroad," Nielsen said.
Admission to Train Days is included in the regular museum price, $8 for adults, $6 for seniors or military, $4 for children ages 5 to 12 and free for children under 5and museum association members.
"Whether you are a die-hard model train fan, or just eager to explore something new, Train Days is a wonderful reason to visit the museum," Nielsen said. "Train Days is a wonderful event for the whole family, and a great way for parents and grandparents to share train memories with the children in their lives."

News Releases by Year
After reaching the highest level in over six years, pending home sales declined in June, with rising mortgage interest rates beginning to impact the market.
Americans overwhelmingly believe owning a home is a good financial decision and a majority of renters say homeownership is one of their highest priorities for the future.
The National Association of Realtors® Board of Directors today reaffirmed NAR's commitment to making realtor.com® the first, best online destination for home buyers and sellers. The board voted in favor of recommendations to modify an existing operating agreement that will help the site compete more effectively in an evolving online marketplace.
Existing-home sales declined in June but are well above year-ago levels, while the median price shows seven straight months of double-digit year-over-year increases.
Millennials are more confident than any other age group that their recent home purchase was a good financial investment, according to a new study released today.
Pending home sales rose in May to the highest level since late 2006, implying a possible spark as mortgage interest rates began to rise.
The Environmental Protection Agency must justify its efforts to apply new lead paint regulations to public and commercial properties, Realtor® Harold Huggins testified at a public hearing today on behalf of the National Association of Realtors® and its affiliates, the Institute for Real Estate Management and the CCIM Institute.
Global interest in U.S. properties continues to grow, signaling that America continues to be regarded by international buyers as a great place to own property.
Existing-home sales improved in May and remain solidly above a year ago, while the median price continued to rise by double-digit rates from a year earlier.
Congress should consider redefining the new ability-to-repay requirements for Qualified Mortgages to avoid limiting affordable borrowing options for creditworthy buyers, said the National Association of Realtors® today in testimony before the House Financial Services Committee.
