(AmmoLand.com) Tucson, AZ – Warren A. Sackman, III, President, Safari Club International Foundation, announced that on Tuesday, January 31, 2017, Ron and Jackie Bartels were honored with the prestigious Beretta and SCI Foundation Conservation Leadership Award for demonstrating extensive international hunting experience and a lifetime of commitment to wildlife conservation and education though volunteer service and philanthropy.
Ron and Jackie Bartels were married in 1962 and raised six children. Jackie worked for a local bank and retired 18 years later as Branch Manager. Ron worked for Conoco for 15 years and Florida Gas Exploration before starting Eagle Consulting, LLC with his partner in 1981. He sold his portion of the company to his partner and started Eagle Energy Services, LLC where he is General Manager.
Ron and Jackie started hunting internationally in 1988 after purchasing a hunt in Spain at an SCI event. Since then, they have hunted overseas annually including 19 African Safaris, many including family members. Jackie was the 2007 Diana Award recipient. Ron received the World Hunting Award Ring in 2005. They both received the SCI Hall of Fame Award in 2006.
Ron and Jackie Bartels have been volunteers in conservation organizations for over 30 years and are still actively serving on several local and state committees and boards. In 2011, in recognition of their service to Ducks Unlimited and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries, the 3255 acre Point-Aux-Chenes Wildlife Management was dedicated in their names. In 2012, Ducks Unlimited Inc. and Ducks Unlimited CANADA dedicated the Tidlund Project in Saskatchewan to them. Over the past 22 years, they have put on Sensory Safaris for over 76,000 sight-impaired and sighted children and adults. They are the founding members of the Louisiana Legislative Sportsmen's Caucus and were instrumental in getting the Louisiana Constitutional Amendment to include the "Rights to Hunt, Fish & Trap" passed. Their family has grown to include 11 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren and most are hunters and shooting sports participants.
As recognition of the award, Ron and Jackie Bartels received an elegant trophy designed by Beretta and hand-crafted in their Italy factory. They will also receive custom gold and sapphire award pins created by master jeweler Madleine Kay.
Finalists for the 2017 Award included Mary Cabela, Ralph & Deb Cunningham, Robert Model, Byron & Sandra Sadler, and Tom Snyder – all of whom were eminently qualified to receive the award. This year's finalists will automatically be eligible for next year's award along with any future nominations.
The Bartels were announced as the award winners at the Beretta and SCI Foundation Conservation Leadership Award elegant black-tie gala.

It's time to raise a glass to Paris's original salonniere, Madame de Rambouillet, a great dame who was hosting fêtes in France with thinkers, artists, and writers long before it was en vogue to do so. Among her regular guests were Pierre Corneille, Jean-Louis Guez de Balzac, Antoine Godot, François Maynard, and Madame de Sévigné. Truly, doll, it was this trailblazing lady who launched the great literary salons of Paris. Do join me as I recount the story of her fête-fabulous life.
Born Catherine de Vivonne in 1588 to a noble family, our gal was married off at the tender age of 12 to Charles d'Angennes, the son of Jean d'Angennes, who was the seigneur of the Rambouillet manor and the governor of Dauphiné. Now known as Madame de Rambouillet, Catherine moved with her hubby to Paris and settled into the posh Hôtel Pisani, which was later dubbed the Hôtel de Rambouillet.
Chambre Bleue at the Hôtel de Rambouillet
As a young bride, Catherine was the victim of catty gossip that claimed that she was too clumsy and naive to be an elegant match for her blue-blooded husband. No shrinking violet, she responded by studying the classics in secret, later emerging with a reputation among those in French literary circles as quite refined and learned. As a result of her intellectual pursuits, Catherine grew weary of the shallow gossip that defined the social gatherings of the day, so, in 1620, she created her own regular get-togethers (the first Parisian salon!) where she cultivated manners, the arts, and platonic ideals. The writer Jean Regnault de Segrais would later write that she "corrected the wicked customs that went before her" and "taught politesse to all those of her time who visited her."
Known as Chambre Bleue (the blue room), for the room's defining hue, Madame's salon was attended by the greatest writers, thinkers, and aristocrats of the day, and is considered to be the birthplace of 17th-century French literature.
Pierre Corneille, the renowned 17th-century French dramatist, was a Chambre Bleue habitué
As a hostess, the beautiful Marquise de Rambouillet displayed genuine kindness, wit, and a down-to-earth demeanor that enabled her to receive princes and literary men with the same warmth and regard. She also knew the value of ice-breakers to encourage guests from different areas of life to chat with one another, so she filled Chambre Bleue with curiosities, choice works of art, and other one-of-a-kind conversation pieces.
Beyond assembling fascinating groups and facilitating stimulating social interaction, Marquise de Rambouillet had a signature hostess trait: she found great joy in surprising people. At one point, she had a secret room built just off Chambre Bleue. One evening, in front of a crowd of guests, she pulled back a large tapestry to reveal, not a wall as expected, but a lushly decorated chamber featuring a lovely woman reclining in the style of a Muse.
Hôtel de Rambouillet today
Like most fabulous party hosts, Marquise de Rambouillet had a great eye for design, which led her to restore the Hôtel de Rambouillet to suit social gatherings. For example, she moved the grand staircase from the center of the room to the side to create more usable space. She also divided the Hôtel de Rambouillet into a series of small rooms so that guests could wander and find privacy for intimate conversations. It is said that the architects who designed the Luxembourg Palace studied, and were influenced by, her unique arrangements.
Madame de Rambouillet died on December 27, 1665, leaving behind a legacy of intellectual curiosity, wit, and grace that set the tone for centuries of salons to come. Here's to you, Madame.

Question about HP OfficeJet G85 All-In-One InkJet Printer
Posted by mebaker on
My carriage has jammed and I can not locate the reason why. I had a paper jam and removed from the back as normal and now the carriage will not move freely its stuck in the middle as if I was about to remove the cartridges. Please help.
Make sure you can move the print cartridge holder freely and that it isn't being blocked by anything inside the printer, also check if the cleaning station is in the right position, maybe it is locking the cartridges.

SOURCE: HP Officejet 5110 - Carriage Jam Message
I have an Hp Officejet 5110. I have an error message saying "Open door,clear carriage jam, then press enter". But where is its door? How can I clear the carriage jam?
I tried pressing the # & 6 at the same time, but the error message still there.
Posted on Jan 01, 2009
SOURCE: i keep getting a message: open door. clear
Its a problem of purging unit it is in a right hand side of printer clean the surface properly and then check the printer.
Posted on Jul 30, 2009
SOURCE: error message= open door clear carriage jam and
I think the message is instructions, as in
(1) open door (2) clear carriage jam (3) press enter
So there is something internal to the printer that makes it think it has a carriage jam, piece of paper under a sensor, dirty or stuck sensor.
If you can't find it using a bright light, try canned air.
Posted on Feb 01, 2010
SOURCE: clear carriage jam
The carriage assembly is what the ink cartridges moves on. The silver bar that runs through the cartridge holder must be oiled. Put two or three drops of thin oil oun iether sides of the cartridge holder. This should clear the "carriage error"
Good Luck

Its very uncool to enjoy playing this game and the peer pressure has nearly broken me but whilst I never considered myself a fanboy before I clearly am one because I am having such a great time in the game.
IT certainly has its issues (but that is not what this thread is about).
Come on, tell us all what you like about the game!!!
I shall start with the very obvious and least important of the good stuff - this game looks fantastic having the best graphics I have ever seen in an mmo. I also love the combat mechanics so far and am really enjoying having to think about what I attack rather than just grinding through like you do on most mmorpgs.
Anyone else like anything?

Adelphia Indictment NearJul 16, 2002 | AP
Federal prosecutors are preparing to seek indictments of members of the founding family of bankrupt cable giant Adelphia Communications, a person familiar with the investigation said Tuesday.
The indictment could be filed within two weeks, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The source provided no other details on expected charges stemming from accounting irregularities and off-the-books debt at the nation's sixth-largest cable TV company.
But USA Today, citing an unidentified source, reported Monday that federal prosecutors were preparing to indict Adelphia founder John J. Rigas and his three sons. The Washington Post reported Tuesday that prosecutors were preparing to indict the Rigases for their alleged roles in self-dealing at Adelphia.
The company disclosed on May 17 that federal grand juries in Pennsylvania and New York were investigating its finances. The U.S. attorney's offices in Harrisburg and Manhattan declined to comment Tuesday.
Rigas and his sons, Timothy, Michael and James, stepped down from executive posts and board seats at Adelphia in May following the company's disclosures. Adelphia filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month.
Attorneys for John, Michael and James Rigas didn't immediately return calls seeking comment. Paul R. Grand, an attorney for Tim Rigas, Adelphia's former chief financial officer, said his client hadn't been informed of any indictment plans. He declined to comment on "rumors" but said, "When something has been done we will have a comment."
Eric Andrus, a spokesman for Adelphia, declined to comment.
Adelphia's stock had slid to the pennies-a-share level since the company disclosed in March that the Rigas family borrowed billions through family-owned partnerships. The stock was at 22 cents a share in over-the-counter trading Tuesday.
Adelphia has said in Securities and Exchange Commission filings that the Rigases used company cash or assets for purposes from buying a professional hockey team to investing in a golf course, with many of the transactions never approved by the company's board.
USA Today reported that charges against the Rigases could include bank, mail and wire fraud.
Such charges could be involved "any time you receive undisclosed money or property from the company for personal benefit," said Columbia Law School professor John Coffee Jr., who has served on the legal advisory committee to the board of directors of the New York Stock Exchang.
In Adelphia's case, prosecutors could focus on alleged misuse of company funds by the family as well as on accounting irregularities, Coffee said.
"They are talking not just about cooking the books, they are talking about looting the company," Coffee said.
Before a jury, Coffee said, "It's easier to explain when you can show them the injury and you can say this conduct drove the company into bankruptcy, and Adelphia is bankrupt."

The new price of gas at $8.40 will be applicable to all types of gas, shale, coal bed methane or conventional. Coal methane gas is more likely to be tapped as compared to shale because the latter requires enormous amounts of water in the separation process
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), while accepting the Rangarajan Committee recommendation in toto, has approved the new price of indigenous gas, produced by Reliance Industries (RIL) and ONGC at $8.40 per mmBtu (million metric British thermal unit), with effect from 1 April 2014, as against the current rate of $4.20. It has overruled the via media price of $6.77 proposed by the oil ministry. No explanation has been given!
The current ruling price of imported gas is around $ 14.17 per mmBtu, and the price of $8.40 is therefore cheaper, if that is a consolation!
It is now assumed that with this revision, gas producers like RIL and ONGC will be encouraged to pump out more gas out of their wells, if necessary, by bringing in additional balancing equipments and endeavour to explore new areas to locate gas. Such new finds will take three to four years to be able to supply gas.
The new price of gas at $8.40 will be applicable to all types of gas, shale, coal bed methane or conventional. There are reasonable prospects that coal methane gas is more likely to be tapped as compared to shale because the latter requires enormous amounts of water in the separation process.
Already, the fertilizer industry is up in arms on this increase. The impact on increased gas price (costs) is likely to be offset by a greater amount of subsidy by the government, which has been hinted by the finance minister during the interview when the announcement was made to increase the gas price.
Why not allow the fertilizer industry to set its own market price, instead of control by the government? The intention has been to ensure that the farmer got the subsidized fertilizer. So far, so good, but what is really happening is that in the end, the farmer does not get the desired benefit, which is actually taken away by the landowner and/or the chain of middlemen who sell the produce.
Elimination of this group is essential, if it is the ultimate desire of the government to help the farmer. Besides, how long will the government go on subsidizing this industry?
This revised gas price, which is effect from 1 April 2014 is valid for five years, but will be reviewed every quarter, according to the Committee. What purpose will this serve?
The debate on pricing is likely to go on endlessly. Should there be any reference, if at all, to international market price, when deciding the price for indigenously produced gas? In a way, yes, because if there was no production within the country, and the demand has to be met, it can done only by imports. Hence, technically, an attempt has been made to substitute imports by indigenous production and, as a sequel, we need to fix a notional and realistic price to the product.
Yet, a 100% increase from $ 4.20 to $ 8.40 is very high.
In the meantime, in order to meet the growing demand, bearing in mind the shortage and lower production at home, we have to continue our dependence on imports of LNG (liquefied natural gas) from our principal source of supply, the Emirate of Qatar, in the Gulf.
At the same time, India's quest has taken long and arduous routes to obtain gas from Iran, Turkmenistan and Myanmar, via pipelines that will have to be laid in cooperation with countries which will have vulnerability as it has to pass through Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The discussions and negotiations have been going on for years now and with no result at the end of the tunnel. Is it a pipe dream? So, far, yes!
In regard to the new gas price, it is essential that the Committee urgently clarifies the following issues:
a) Why should the pricing be done in dollars when the production is indigenous?
b) assuming this to be relevant for relative pricing based on international (import) costs, why NOT the government peg the dollar-rupee ratios? If the rate today is Rs50.87 to a dollar, do they project the rate to go down or up?
c) from the assured production RIL failed to supply in the past two years, even presumably under the technicality of force majeure conditions, how do they plan to compensate the "loss of supplies" of the past, and how do they make up if this happens again?
d) since Qatar has abundant gas, and with whom we have close relations, why not the Government of India jointly set up one or two large urea plants in that country and import the finished product? In return, they can guarantee essential commodity supplies—whether it is basmati rice or meat or any other products and services that Qatar may need?
It is imperative that the CCEA looks at these issues seriously.

Korrio and Kristine Lilly: A "Lil" Boost from a Big Player
May 29, 2012
Kristine Lilly, otherwise known as Lil, is a legend – all 5'4" of her. She is a 23 year veteran of the US Women's National Team, was the US Soccer Player of the Year in '93, '05, & '06, played in 5 World Cups and 3 Olympics to become a two-time Champion in each tournament, and is the world's most-capped player to ever play the game with 352 National Team appearances.
Dizzying, right? And on top of that, Kristine got married in 2006 (can you imagine – she was named Player of the Year while planning a wedding!) and had her first daughter Sidney in 2008, which is probably the reason why she didn't play in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She came back to the National Team in 2010 and retired in 2011, just 10 months prior to the birth of her second daughter, Jordan.
And the accolades continue. In the past month she has been inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame, was named one of the 40 greatest female athletes by espnW, has givenkeynote speeches at local celebrity breakfasts and has even been given Gold Keys in her hometown state's athletic hall of fame.

WASHINGTON - Congressional leaders have agreed to provide $650 million in stopgap funding for Georgia's PeachCare and other state children's health insurance programs that are running out of money.
Over objections from the White House, the money was included in a war spending package totaling some $120 billion that lawmakers hope will win President Bush's signature by week's end.
"It should be a very good compromise," said U.S. Rep. David Scott, D-Atlanta. "Yes, let's take care of the troops ... but certainly we should be able to respond to the health care of our children. Without this, children will go without their health care."
The State Children's Health Insurance Program - intended to provide health coverage for children of the working poor - is funded with a combination of federal and state dollars, with most participants also paying premiums. Federal funding shortfalls in the program have left Georgia and more than a dozen other states in a bind as demand has outstripped budgets.
Georgia, which is $131 million short in its PeachCare budget, froze enrollment in March. State lawmakers later agreed to provide $81 million in reserve Medicaid funds to keep the program afloat.
PeachCare insures about 273,000 children in families making up to 235 percent of the federal poverty level. That's $40,350 for a family of three.
While still cautious because the money had not yet won final approval, a spokesman for Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue welcomed the news. Perdue has traveled to Washington several times recently to lobby for the money.
"The governor has certainly made it clear that Georgia is paying its share, and we have just been asking for Congress to do its part," Bert Brantley said. "We are hopeful that this will address the shortfall and we can continue to cover Georgia's children on PeachCare."
The insurance money is among a handful of domestic initiatives in the war spending bill. Bush objected to previous versions of the measure over Democratic-backed timelines for withdrawing troops from Iraq, but Democrats removed those provisions in the latest version.
The House and Senate are expected to vote on the package this week.
The emergency SCHIP funding is a temporary salve as Congress prepares to reauthorize the program for the long-term later this year.
SCHIP's current annual budget is $5.5 billion. Democrats have proposed nearly tripling that amount, setting up a budget battle with the White House, which has recommended a much smaller increase.
Congress created SCHIP in 1998 as a way to provide health insurance for children of working parents who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford private coverage.

Australia's two top-ranked men, trouble-prone pair Bernard Tomic and Nick Kyrgios, have both been excluded from the six-player list of finalists for the Newcombe Medal, Tennis Australia's annual award for it's "most outstanding elite tennis player and ambassador for the sport".
Both Tomic, the world No.18 who has just finished a career-best season in which he was also suspended from Australia's Davis Cup quarter-final for verbally savaging TA officials and spent 10 hours in a Miami lock-up, and 30th-ranked Kyrgios, an Australian Open quarter-finalist who was embroiled in several major controversies and sanctioned by the ATP over the Stan Wawrinka sledging affair, were considered ineligible for disciplinary reasons.
Multiple former winner Sam Stosur heads a group of nominees that also includes the much-improved Sam Groth, emerging teenager Thanasi Kokkinakis, veteran Casey Dellacqua, doubles specialist John Peers and wheelchair star Dylan Alcott. The Newcombe Medal Australian Tennis Awards will be held at Crown on November 23.
"To be nominated for the Newcombe Medal really caps off what I feel was a real breakthrough year for me," said Groth, who cracked the top 60 for the first time. "I was really happy with the way 2015 went and although I stopped my season a little early due to injury, being nominated is a great way to close my best season yet."

Metroplex Adventist Hospital in Killeen reduced its energy usage by 17 percent in the past year.
The hospital's efforts to be more energy conscious are being recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which granted it Energy Star certification earlier this month.
"Everyone benefits from earning this designation since these changes not only reduce our environmental footprint, but also lower our operating costs making us better stewards of Metroplex as a community asset," said Carlyle Walton, Metroplex president and CEO.
The Energy Star certification is the national symbol for superior energy efficiency and environmental protection, according to the agency's website. Facilities receiving certification must use 35 percent less energy, on average, than similar buildings, thereby contributing 35 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere.
Although no Metroplex buildings officially received the certification, Shelley Humphrey, a Metroplex spokeswoman, said the EPA expects to start issuing certifications in the next month or two. Between February and December, the hospital saved about $129,000 in energy costs.
"We started analyzing and making changes to the system about a year ago," said Tom Riddle, Metroplex director of facilities management. "We started to see a difference from the initial baseline after three months. This resulted in significant cost savings and energy reduction for the hospital."
Last year, only seven Texas hospitals and 49 hospitals across the U.S. received the certification.

Old thread.
Keep on rambling, ladies, we have a whole new thread to fill!
Nap-fighting going on here too. And possibly also hiccups, from the sound of it. She's knackered, poor child, having only managed a twenty minute nap before we had to head to the doctor's, but will she sleep? Will she heck.
Doctor totally stumped by recurring oral thrush. So we're being referred to a paediatrician. On the plus side, I have a prescription for some sleeping tablets, same ones my brother's on and he reckons they're great, so fingers crossed for tonight!
SoYo wine in the baby food is a-ok. It all burns off and I fully support giving the baby proper grub. Naw 17 weeks, so young!
Vj It's taken three different kinds of cup but we've finally got DS to start drinking water. The soft spouted one was the winner. I was really fretting over the contents of his nappy too and started giving him fruity compotes with yoghurt. Yesterday I made apple mango and blueberry and
I've eaten most of it he seems to like it. I've also been offering 'wet' meals like pasta with lots of sauce. And he's just wolfed down chicken and veg risotto.
Stormy hope your sleep improves. That really sucks.
We're off out for a walk in the rain before I lose the plot.
Urrgggh. Remind me never to call dd 'a good sleeper' again. 3 screamy wake ups between 1 and 2am. The type where you've just got back into bed and got comfy. Gave up at 2 and brought her in with us. She then kicked and grisled from 5-6.30 when I eventually gave up and we got up. She's of course mega grumpy today, not least because today I'm trying to stretch the gaps between naps in order to cut out the late afternoon nap.
I REALLY want to try leaving her to it when she wakes up, but I'm just not sure I've got the guts.
Today, I will be mostly eating biscuits.
stormy fx the tablets help and also that the paediatrician can help the thrush problem!
Oh man, I've totally forgot what everyone else has said due to being on the damn phone! Gah. DS is going to the Dr
once we register with a new one since moving house as he has pretty bad dry, red skin on his face and tummy. The last Dr said it was eczema and told us to use coconut oil but it's still there so I'll see if another can prescribe something else. I'm not too worried as it is only eczema which is fine, it just looks all blotchy. Poor thing.
plonk we too are off for a walk. To Tesco. To get Lemsip and Halls and all manner of cold fighting products. Ah the high life. That's also why I've been a lurker for the past few days, I've been too grumpy because of this ridiculous cold. And since OH has it too, we're both milking it for all it's worth
Stormy I hope the thrush gets sorted!
Something madam here has eczema too and is often red and blotchy, she's got steroid cream for it that helps so I'm guessing you'll get the same from your GP. They can be a bit funny about it but all the GPs I know slap it on their own children for everything so as long as its used sparingly I'm sure it's fine.
Miss Madam just had her first curry, a mix of my veg paneer and Daddy's chicken balti puréed and mixed with a load of yoghurt. It was a bit hit! Especially with some naan to dip into it! Fingers crossed we don't see the result in her nappy overnight!
SoYo I can't help but think the impending nappy is going to look pretty similar to how it did on the plate. Do keep us updated!
Fartypants approves of sausages! This is progress, and in a suitably carnivorous direction.
I slept! Only took half an hour to fall asleep, woke up three times and went straight back to sleep after each. Yay for sleeping pills!
Stormy you must feel like a new woman! So pleased for you, there's nothing like a good nights sleep. Did DD wake you or was it natural end of sleep cycle stuff?
Well I am having a wonderful time. Last night getting into bed I stepped on my Kindle and broke the screen. I tried to read a book from the Complete George Orwell and kept dropping it on my face cos it's so damn heavy. I left DS's bottles cooling in the sink and forgot to put them in the fridge, so I had to perform my full repertoire of baby distraction techniques IMMEDIATELY upon waking while a new bottle cooled. I then spilt the fresh boiling hot bottle all over myself (thankfully no burns) and nearly fell over the cat, who might have just learned not to stand right behind me at all times. Open the post and OH LOOK! Not one but FOUR Npower bills, two saying we're in credit to the tune of 1200, two asking for money.
Seriously, who let me become a responsible adult? I want to move back in with my mum so she can take care of all this crap and feed me and give me cuddles.
Well done stormy.
Oh dear plonky do you want to start the day again. I usually wake in the morning to find powdered milk scattered all over the floor like snow.
4am i wake up and ds is playing in his cot and talking to himself. I made him milk and he fell back to sleep until 6am. I left him in his cot until 7.
Hes due for a nap and yes you guessed it his fighting his nap again. For baby number 2 im in line for a baby that doesnt fight sleep.
11pm, woke up when the man was feeding her and she was squeaking. 2am woke up because he'd forgotten to turn the thermostat down, and the heating came on - radiators upstairs clank a lot. 5.50am had to flip the baby. Up for the day at 7am. Felt quite groggy for an hour, but fine now.
We've had a fair bit of nap resistance this past week, so I'm experimenting with keeping her up for two and a half hours rather than two. Hopefully it'll work alright and won't bugger up the schedule too much.
Right, found you!
Urgh, far too much to read... I've skimmed the first 20 ish.
I can't get DS to drink water either and his poo this morning was a sort of solid flat lump . Are we supposed to give them any other sort of liquid? He's only wanting about 4oz bottles, but having two after midnight still (just can't get him to have them in the bloody day time). He's also on 3 meals a day, loves fruit purees best. I put banana in his cleava mama feeder, which turned grey in minutes and just got smeared over the carpet after being chewed!
In other news, my GP has thrown a bit of a spanner in the works after nothing came of my bloods - she thinks I might have MS. As much as I know this isn't a final diagnosis by any means and I'll have to wait until the neurologist referral comes through, something definitely isn't right and it's actually affecting my ability to look after DS now
OH has actually been much nicer to me since my gp visit which is a plus, but at the moment I can't even undo buttons on a sleepsuit so going back to work in 4 weeks seems crazy!
If I'm quiet it's just because I'm lurking and typing isn't my friend atm.
Anyway, we have a sliver of tooth finally here, and boy are they sharp?!
Oh Leni, hopefully you'll get to see a neurologist quickly who can start investigating & at least you'll know one way or another. It doesn't sound like you'll be back at work in 4 weeks, you need to be taking it easy not adding more stress. I'm glad DP has stepped up a bit!
Thanks Soyo, a diagnosis would probably make me feel better actually!
Luckily my boss has a disability and I work in the accessibility team at my company, so I'm confident that I can discuss this with him without judgement as health issues are well catered for. I am slightly worried about going to meet him with DS on Friday alone, just because I don't trust my body to behave and it looks outwardly as if I'm drunk . I tend to use the buggy more like a zimmer frame...
Thanks soyo for the advice re eczema. After researching
googling I've seen that steroid cream is what's next so I'll push for some. We were told not to use sudocrem but tried it last night and it seems to be helping!
leni I hope you get some answers soon and at least your work will be understanding, but I agree, probably best to take time instead of going back in 4 weeks. It sounds like you're struggling too much to go back just yet!
As of last night, Mr has turned into a snotty mess of a boy. He woke up about 3 times just wanting cuddles and has been very dopey all day watching OH on GTA, but that'd send anyone dopey. So, that's 3 of us. At least we've all got it at the same time! And a revelation: rusks are a
slobbery hit!
Oh god Leni, that is a worrying possibility. I hope you get a proper diagnosis and treatment soon. Does the fact you are a full time carer for a small baby give you a leg up the waiting list? Is it worth asking? Thinking of you.
I'm another who's being a bit more of a lurker than a poster at the moment.... all is slightly mad here at present. Builder related chaos mainly, with it's knock on effect on my free time, or lack there of .
Gosh, as a collective we have a lot on our plates don't we.
Leni I just hope you start to feel more yourself soon. IT must be hard looking after a baby. You deserve some good luck very soon.
Worse how is napping with The builder noise? What are you Having done? Or is that nosey?
Something have you Got a nasal aspirator? Great fun, as I think I've mentioned before.
Kff how many weeks is your lo? Might it be the dreaded wonder week still? Baby may emerge on other side a brilliant sleeper. Here's hoping.
Soyo we start weaning tomorrow. Very late to the party. Your curry sounds fun. Sounds like You blw all the way? Can I ask how you approached the first week? Did you start with puree to test swallow skills? WE had planned on dahl recipe from blw book tomorrow night but on reflection that feels a bit in at the deep end.
Plonk tomorrow is another day! Things can only get better. I had comedy of errors on Monday morning. It must be the week for it.
As for us, we purchased something ridiculous. About four months ago one of our nct group showed us their jumperoo. I duly said to dh 'what an enormous piece of plastic tat, we're never having anything like that'. What was it you were saying about the sorts of parents we are compared to the sort We thought we would be!
We can't see the telly anymore.
Oh, how could I forget what led me to be lying in the bath comatose:
Today Eco baby (you will appreciate the irony of this name when you read this story) and I awoke in Wales. after a play and breakfast with a pre schooler and a toddler we headed to bristol to meet a four week old and then went onto Reading to see a friend's girl who'd just started school. BEfore again hitting M4 and M25 and M11 at rush hour to get back to Norfolk for seven pm.
Insane. Don't ever be tempted by this sort of nuts road trip. Thank heavens the ridiculous jumperoo was in situ to gain me Brownie points. I feel like I have gained some of those there bad mummy points today.
Eco good move giving in. The jumperoo is a hideous monstrosity but it's worth it's weight in gold, it's like a third parent in our house!
We originally started out with BLW then about 3 weeks in we added purees to the mix and now it's a bit of everything and anything. We started with vegetable (lightly steamed) and fruit sticks and bread products but within a few days we were giving her a bit of anything we had, we only started like that because she was under 6m so I felt we should start slowly. She didn't have anything on a spoon for ages. She's now having quite a bit of purée too, meals are often a bit of our dinner puréed which we load onto spoons and she feeds herself and a bit of our dinner in its pure form for her to mush in her hands
and face and hair and clothes and play with and chew. Just go for it! She won't eat it if she doesn't want to and there'll be a lot of playing at first anyway!
I'm having a glass of red wine the size of a small vat and I can feel it. Mmmmm.
And finally, yay for sleep stormy! It'll take a while to catch up but bet it already feels bloody great
Oh my goodness leni I do hope they find out what's wrong soon. Must be awful for you having lost he ability to do simple things like that for your DS
DD also has dry blotchy skin, mostly under her neck and the top of her chest but also sometimes around her chin which I had just put down to drooling all the time. I've been using Vaseline but I'll keep an eye on it.
eco I finally started weaning DD today as I was getting totally freaked out by the way she was just STARING at our food and our mouths the past few days especially. I was putting it off because I was being lazy!
Going for the mix of finger food and spoon feeding, she had baby rice at lunchtime, and because I've been so disorganised she was just in the bumbo on the kitchen floor. I started off with very runny baby rice but that was a bit nothing really so kept adding more until it went extremely thick and she was having a hard time eating it, bless her! I stopped after that
Then this evening she had some mashed potato. As lumpy as I normally make it (!) with a knob of unsalted butter and a splash of whole milk. She sat up happily in the highchair for it and I stupidly put it in a little bowl but the first thing she did was to grab it and try to stuff it in her mouth! I took the bowl away She really enjoyed it and was just slurping and sucking it off her fingers when there wasn't much left!
It was lovely just having her in the highchair up at the table with us and not down low in her bouncer or sitting in the bumbo. I forgot to put a bib on her though and must've chucked all the great plastic ones we used with DS so I'd better get some pretty quickly.
Hope we all have a good night's sleep tonight. With or without medicinal aid!
I'm going to have to google these jumparoos, aren't I?
Not a bad night's sleep here. Squeaks at 4.10 and 5.45, and from 6.30 she was just chattering and farting to herself in her cot until I got her up at seven. So I still haven't managed eight unbroken hours, but it's better than only managing three.
I fear food may be causing some baby digestive issues. She's farting like a champion, struggling to poo at times, and woke up from a nap howling yesterday, which was solved with an enormous burp.
Those with babies who are eating well already, do they have teeth yet? Am vaguely wondering if there's a correlation. Also, is anyone bathing the baby in the sink, and if so how do you stop them sliding around? Our baby bath (which she's just about outgrown) is going over the road for my brother's baby in, crikey, four and a half weeks. Where did the time go? Anyway, I'm a little apprehensive about the move to the sink.
Morning all
As I write the tiddler is rolling about in her play pen beside me, loudly discussing the merits of hands over feet. How long I have to write largely depends on how much she can find to say on the subject, before getting bored. Probably not long then!
Eco you are
insane brave. That's a lot of driving! All good practice for the Trans-atlantic trip though. Speaking of which I was reminded the other week about our scheduled Chicago trip. Transpires that one has been canned as it coincided with a deal deadline, and fee earning trumps internal conferences. Can't say as I'm sorry to be honest. A holiday to the states might be a lot of fun. Trailing along as the loyal wife. Less so.
And the building work - well fortunately nothing really major, but pretty disruptive none the less. DH in his wisdom has decided that rather than a
rather useful dog yard and outbuilding, what we actually need is a conservatory . I'm not convinced I could ever need a conservatory, but it will be nice to have and will open up a stunning view of the garden from the back of the house. The current view of kennel and ramsackle barny thing lacks a certain je ne sais quoi. It doesn't really affect naps, what with the worselet being completely nap resistant any way, but it does increase the amount of time I have to spend doing dog walking as rather than being loose all day the poor mutts are penned. They are really quite pi55ed off.
Ah so much more to say and so little time.... having exhausted the scope of the various baby entertainment options available (no jumperoo.... perhaps that is where I am going wrong) someone is now cross.
Waves to everyone... especially those having rough nights.
worse for baby entertainment, may I suggest furry cushions? I've been making a U shape of cushions round DD when she's sitting on the floor, and she absolutely loves to cuddle them, squeal, then throw herself forward. Also a big hit at the moment is the soft plastic basket I just got to keep her toys in downstairs. If it's within reach, she likes to pull it over and investigate the contents.
She's been trying to pull herself up to a standing position, with the aid of the sofa, or sometimes my leg. They're going to he walking before we know it, aren't they?
Stormy we have no teeth here and I'm hoping that will remain the case for a while yet. I, not looking forward to being bitten with teeth as its already agony when she does it with just gums.
As for baths, the sink doesn't work for us as she just slides around and under and we've never used a baby bath. It's in the big bath for Mini-Yo. We just put a couple of inches in and lie her down in it. Now she's sitting she loves it as she gets to sit up and have a good splash and play with her ducks before lying down to get washed.
Madam was up 3 times but is now fast asleep beside me. I think she's going to be like me and her Daddy, much prefer late nights and a lie in to the alternative. Oh well!
Lots to catch up on and soooo little time.
leni i hope you get a diagnosis soon. Im glad your OH is being a bit more helpful. Re other fluids. I give ds water as well as juice for babies. You should find it in the baby aisle next to the baby food. He has taken to it well.
eco we are 28 weeks tomorrow. I had to check that ive totally lost count. For us every week is a wonder week where fighting naps are concerned. I can see myself on supernanny in a couple of years time.
That reminds me anyone see that awful 3 day nanny show last night? Giving a 3 yr old a big knife to chop veg and allowing them to wee against a tree. Wtf!
stormy we dont use the sink.
i usually have the sink piled with dishes. I got this seat from kiddicare for about £9 i think. I just put it in the big bath.
Not a bad night night. Ds slept from 8.30pm until 3.30am. This is a big improvement. Although after his feed he was in a light sleep and i could hear him wailing. I went and hes was a sleep. My only explanation is that he must have been dreaming if there is such a thing for babies.

Make a Tax-Deductible Donation to assist in the aftermath of Earthquakes in Ecuador and Japan
CUNY has established a fund for charitable donations to assist Ecuador and Japan in the aftermath of the tragedy. Tax-deductible donations can be made via check or money order payable to CUNY Research Foundation with memo indicating "Ecuador and Japan Earthquakes Relief Fund 78511-00-15". The money collected will be distributed to a reputable agency providing direct support to the victims.
Mail donations to:
Roberta Nord
The City University of New York
205 East 42 Street, 9th floor
New York, NY 10017
On Saturday, April 25, 2015, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck central Nepal at mid-day local time. This was followed by more than 20 aftershocks in the 4.5 to 6.6 range. Approximately, 6.6 million people live within 100 km of the earthquake's epicenter. The earthquake also effected regions in neighboring Bangladesh, India and China. On Mt. Everest, the earthquake triggered an avalanche resulting in at least 18 deaths.
As of a week later, there are an estimated 7,240 fatalities, 14,122 estimated injuries and 2.8 million people have been displaced.
The need is great. Each campus has appointed a Disaster Relief Coordinator who will be responsible to coordinate efforts on campus.
CUNY's campaign is multi-pronged:
- Providing assistance to students and faculty/staff with ties to the region; and
- Raising charitable donations to assist Nepal in the aftermath of this recent catastrophic natural disaster
The needs in the area are great:
- Shelter and displacement—With the impending monsoon season due to begin in June, shelter support remains a crucial need
- Health—addressing injuries and responding to health crises. Reports are beginning to come in of influenza and diarrhea in remote regions
- Water—drinking water, sanitation and hygiene have been identified as major concerns, including water storage and treatment
- Food Security—As many as 1.4 million people may require urgent food assistance. The earthquake has also impacted local crops and other food sources
International relief agencies urge that the most effective way people can assist relief efforts is by making cash contributions to humanitarian organizations that are conducting relief efforts

The Smithfield combines the sturdy reliability of a well-made steel frame with the low-maintenance practicality of a Shimano hubgear and the comfortable 'just get on and ride' accessibility of a flat bar set-up. Form meets function here in perfect harmony; a newly-developed twin-toptube is a nod to the beautifully constructed frames of yesteryear whilst the powerful, confidence-inspiring mechanical disc brakes add the modern performance required for today's urban environment. Designed to be ridden in non-bike-specific attire with touches like a chainguard, extended, full-length mudguards, rear rack for luggage and accessible compact geometry, the Smithfield is the 'go to' bike for style-conscious urban riders.

Anger is an emotional state that may range from minor irritation to intense rage. The physical effects of anger include increased heart rate, blood pressure, and levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Some view anger as part of the fight or flight brain response to the perceived threat of harm. Anger becomes the predominant feeling behaviorally, cognitively and physiologically when a person makes the conscious choice to take action to immediately stop the threatening behavior of another outside force. The English term originally comes from the term angr of Old Norse language. Anger can lead to many things physically and mentally.
The external expression of anger can be found in facial expressions, body language, physiological responses, and at times in public acts of aggression. Humans and non-human animals for example make loud sounds, attempt to look physically larger, bare their teeth, and stare. Anger is a behavioral pattern designed to warn aggressors to stop their threatening behavior. Rarely does a physical altercation occur without the prior expression of anger by at least one of the participants. While most of those who experience anger explain its arousal as a result of "what has happened to them," psychologists point out that an angry person can be very well mistaken because anger causes a loss in self-monitoring capacity and objective observability.
Modern psychologists view anger as a primary, natural, and mature emotion experienced by all humans at times, and as something that has functional value for survival. Anger can mobilize psychological resources for corrective action. Uncontrolled anger can however negatively affect personal or social well-being. While many philosophers and writers have warned against the spontaneous and uncontrolled fits of anger, there has been disagreement over the intrinsic value of anger. Dealing with anger has been addressed in the writings of earliest philosophers up to modern times. Modern psychologists, in contrast to the earlier writers, have also pointed out the possible harmful effects of suppression of anger. Displays of anger can be used as a manipulation strategy for social influence.

Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte reiterated that the price increase will only be temporary because of the nature of the season. She added that the National Food Authority is prepared with its buffer stock in case intervention is needed. "Ayon din po sa computation ng DA (Department of Agriculture) at ng NFA, wala po sa range ng 2 to 3 [pesos]. Ang pino-project po nila ay 1-peso to 2-peso increase depending on the area. Kaya kung napapansin din n'yo po, sa ganitong panahon ay nag-aayos po ng buffer stock ang NFA para po kung kakailangan ng intervention, ay handa po ang pamahalaan. Pero natural po ito dahil nga po lean season. This is nothing new. Taon-taon po, nagkakaroon po talaga tayo ng ganito," Valte said. The National Food Authority earlier said there is no shortage in the supply of rice, despite rising prices. The price of well milled rice went up from P30 to P32 per kilo. Rice retailers attributed the price increase to higher farm gate prices and a perceived tightness in supply. Retailers in Kamuning said a sack of well milled rice is now at P1,700, which is P50-P100 higher than a week ago. They also claimed that suppliers are not able to satisfy their requirement. But the NFA said the situation remains normal, noting that July is a lean month and rice prices are expected to move up a little. The NFA will monitor though if prices will continue to rise within the month. If mid-priced rice (P30-32/K) will run out, the NFA may intervene by releasing buffer stocks. The NFA assured they have 616,000 MT of buffer stocks which is good for 21 days. It is also offering to buy smuggled rice confiscated by the Bureau of Customs in Cebu and in Legaspi. The NFA noted that the P27-P28 per kilo iron fortified NFA rice is still available and may serve as an alternative for consumers.

Financial management is one of the most important activities in any successful business. When you employ staff members, recording, allocating and paying their salaries becomes a big part of this process. Late payments or disorganised records will frustrate your employees and agitate the receiver of revenue. QuickBooks offers a payroll software programme range that can streamline and coordinate your salary management effectively.
Your payroll software programme should work hard for you, not the other way around
Managing a business is complex. Paying employees on time each month is one of the most important factors in effective financial management. The effects of poorly managed staff salaries can accumulate fast, cause friction in the workplace and hold back productivity. Payroll software from QuickBooks is specifically designed to automate and simplify the payment process.
- Be timely – A strict routine helps to safeguard against any future confusion with payments each month. Employees expect their money on time and for you to fix late payment errors fast. Your employees are the backbone of your business and keeping them happy with timely payment will encourage productivity.Moreover, late payments or inaccurate payroll records could also mean penalties when used in tax submissions. With Quick Payroll, you'll be able to manage, schedule and put through monthly transactions easily – all from one programme. A tightly regimented system means shorter turnaround time, less chance of payments going unnoticed and a greater likelihood of salaries being processed on time.
- Understand your system – A payroll system needs to be practical for it to be useful. Overly complicated software with unnecessary tools is very little use to a start-up business owner with limited payroll experience. It ends up getting in the way of efficiency, especially when payment criteria differ between staff members.QuickBooks programmes are world renowned for being easy to use and uncomplicated. They're comprehensive tools in a user-friendly package. It's accounting made easy.
A QuickBooks payroll system lets you record, automate and pay salaries
Managing your employee payments is easy when you know how to use your payroll software programme efficiently. Peruse the Quick Payroll range today for professional salary management software.

Do you have a shell on your Windows machine? (MKS korn-shell, Cygwin
bash?) If you do, then you should be able to run a shell-script the same

I don't know many new moms that will utter the words "baby" and "boring" in the same sentence, so I'm here to dispel the myth. Babies, especially brand new ones, are mind-numbingly boring. Don't try to church it up because a newborn baby that looks and acts like a sack of flour just isn't that interesting.
It took until my second kid before I was ready and willing to admit this in public. I remember after having my first son that I was totally freaking elated, and then tired, and then really bored, in that order. I was (and still am) fortunate enough to work at home, so I would spend the morning working and the afternoon "bonding" with my new baby.
Translation: I would guiltily watch Dr. Phil over his shiny, bald head as I held him in my lap. If I was really bored and too lazy to get up, I would even rest my wine glass on his head because it made the perfect absorbent coaster.
There were many, many times that I tried to do interesting things with my baby to no avail. I took him for special walks in the park in the stroller and in the baby-front-carrier-thing. In summary, he got a good nap or screamed the entire time, and I got some exercise. It wasn't a total lose-lose situation, but I wouldn't call it particularly stimulating.
The thing that sucked about not acknowledging the boringness of my baby was that I felt all alone in new motherhood. I made the grave, grave mistake of comparing my reality to Facebook and Pinterest "reality." All of the moms appeared to be jumping for joy and throwing leaves in the air in a montage right out of Full House. My boring baby just happened to be slumped over in a corner sucking on an old spoon, and he wasn't having any photo ops.
Finally, I sent an email to a good friend of mine that had also recently had a baby. We were both indulging in some friendly bitching and finally admitted to each other, "Hey! Is your baby boring too? It's not just me?!?" Whew, what a relief that was. I wasn't the only person with a chronically boring baby, and I wasn't the only mom that found the whole gig kind of uninteresting, at least in the early days.
Now, I have to qualify all of this by saying that I don't totally hate my baby. In fact, I happen to love both of my sons a lot. But the early baby years, my God, they really test you. Unless you're stimulated by watching paint dry or watching grass grow, just know that new motherhood is ultra-boring, and the day-to-day monotony can get to you.
I think my main problem was that I was expecting something to happen. I don't know what this "something" was, but I just thought I was missing something and was supposed to be over the moon about this new baby that couldn't sit up, coo, or even make eye contact.
Now that the toddler years are upon us, they're definitely challenging, but I like them so much better. I remember when my first son hit his one-year birthday, and my husband and I looked at each other and were like, "Hey, this isn't so bad! He's walking around, waving, and smiling on command. Maybe we'll keep him!"
I kid, I kid, but seriously—it took me almost a full year to feel like parenting wasn't a total brain drain. Within that first year, there were definitely moments that I cherished and loved, but there were many, many times where I was counting the minutes until bedtime. Unfortunately, no one tells you that during your prenatal checkups, on the BabyCenter birth boards, and certainly not on Facebook or Instagram.
Maybe I'm the only new mom that made the mistake of comparing my super boring life to Internet reality, but I really had no clue that babies weren't that enjoyable! By the time my second son came around, I was fully prepared for major downtime and a whole lotta nothing, unless you counted round-the-clock diaper changes.
If you're pulling your hair out with boredom as you nurse your newborn in the middle of the night, know that you're not alone. (And hopefully you have a smartphone to keep you company!) The bright side is that the early, floppy years pass so much faster than you think—and, no, I'm not going to tell you to "enjoy it while it lasts."
The boring times are oh-so-boring, but they are short lived. Just remember these words of comfort the next time you pass your baby a teething ring and wipe drool off his slobbery chin for the ninth time in a row. It does get better.
