Well this is me,my name is Luz María,Luzma for friends.I live in Santiago,Chile in south america.I´, 46 years old,I´m married to Rodrigo and I´ve two adorable childrens Bernardita and Rodrigo.
I worked for 20 years as a travel agent and I left my job in December of 2006.Now I´m a happy SAHM and every day I said thanks to my lovely husband for this.

This is my adorable Bernardita,everybody call her Nini,she a 15 years sweet teen girl.
This is my dearest Rodrigo known as Yoyo,he is 12 years old with a GREAT personality.
Here I want to share my other passions before I knew Scrapbook....I made fabric dolls for about three years.Also I made cross stitch for years till I had a big problem on my arm and I couldn´t do anymore,and I still miss it!!

I Got Robbed ... Again
They smashed my back window, leaving a huge hole for my six kitties to escape through. But luckily, I came home and all my fuzzies were in the house. So I'm very thankful for that.
But still ... they took my freakin' computer! The cops came but couldn't find any finger prints. They didn't find any last time either, so we assume they're using gloves. And the cops (and I) are almost 99.9 percent sure the culprits are my crackhead next-door neighbors. But with no real evidence, there's not much that can be done.
Fortunately, after the November incident, I got renter's insurance. So I should be able to replace my computer. But it still sucks. Bad.
My awesome friends Michelle and Wes came over as soon as I discovered the break-in. And my super-duper awesome parents drove in (they live an hour away from Memphis) immediately. My dad brought one of his extra computers for me to use while I wait for a new one. So I'll still be blogging while I wait! Yea!

I'm really sorry to hear that... being a victim of any crime is really horrible :(
Glad that you and the kitties are okay, and that you have renters insurance.

Oh my gosh Bianca!!! I'm so sorry this has happened again. You don't deserve it and just know I'm keeping you in my thoughts =)

I'm so sorry about what happened. But Karma's a bitch, so does who did that to you have it coming.
The good thing is that you and your kittens are okay.
- January 15, 2009 at 5:38 PM
I hate to hear that! I hope you are ok. I know physically, but I mean emotionally because this can really do a number on you. I hope those crackheads get what is coming to them and soon. That blows! I wish there was more I could say to make you feel better. Just know I'm thinking about ya. I am glad you and the kitties were safe and thank goodness for family and friends to ease the pain. Take care of yourself and be careful!

OMG.. that is HORRIBLE.. I am sooo sorry. Seriously.. what a scary thing to deal with. Not being "safe" in your home..

- tahinitoo said...
What?! Gosh Bianca, those farts deserve some serious kicks to the face, rear, and so on... I'm really sorry that you've become a target for them. Want me to build you a booby trap? I will. I'm glad you have renter's insurance now, it doesn't provide full relief and comfort, but it helps.

Oh, no! Not again. I'm so happy your kitties are safe, warm, and with their mummy, though. :)

omg!!!! that is absolutely terrible Bianca. I am so sorry that they took your computer. Atleast nothing happened to your cats.. that would have been worse. Somethings can be replaced.
just make sure that you stay safe. It must be scary.
I HOPE THEY CATCH THE DANM CULPRITS!!! stupid crack heads!

I'm so sorry! I hope the jerks get caught soon.

Bianca, I'm so sorry too! That really sucks. I'm so glad your kitties were still home.
- January 15, 2009 at 8:48 PM
- thedalyn said...
My biggest fear about someone breaking is someone leaving the house open so the cats can get out. As a result, I left my doors unlocked for a long time. I'm so sorry to hear about your break in, but I'm glad the kitties are safe!
- January 15, 2009 at 8:51 PM
Ouch, twice in the space of a few months, that's really horrible... Fortunately, you and your cats are uninjured, but it's still a traumatic experience. I hope whoever is responsible gets their comeuppance SOON.
It's good to know there are good people who are there for you!
Sending hugs and good thoughts your way.

good luck with everything!
- January 15, 2009 at 9:40 PM
- Mike K said...
That's terrible to hear - hope you are doing ok. Good to hear all of the kitties are at home and ok. Renters insurance sounds like a pretty good idea - hope everything works out - what a nasty experience.

- Cyn said...
Oh no! That sucks so bad. Poor you!
- January 15, 2009 at 9:52 PM
- Gina said...
Bianca, that is terrible!!! Especially that it has happened twice?? I'm sorry :( I hope the insurance covers everything.
- January 15, 2009 at 10:02 PM
That's horrible! I can't imagine such a terrible thing happening to such an awesome person AGAIN. I am really glad you have renter's insurance, but that doesn't make up for the fact of being made so vulnerable, among everything else. I'm so sorry!
Can I send you some cookies or something?
- January 15, 2009 at 10:22 PM
That is awful. As if the first violation wasn't enough. You should move. To Nashville. ;-)

Holy crap Bianca! Seriously - that is shameful - esp. putting the little kittens at risk. I am so glad that they are ok.
I am really sorry that they ran off with your mac. That blows. I am making some peanut butter cups right now and they are totally for you! Warm thoughts.
- January 16, 2009 at 8:43 AM
I am so sorry you got robbed again. That really sucks. Someone needs to go over to your neighbor's home and put them in their place. Geez! Thank goodness for renters insurance. I hope you have a good weekend.
- January 16, 2009 at 9:22 AM
I'm so sorry that this has happened again. It really sucks! I'm glad to hear that the kitties are ok and that you are too. Is there any way you could move? I know its not the most feasible option, but your safety is what is important. Best of luck.
- January 16, 2009 at 9:35 AM
- Jen aka Jewbacca said...
holy shit bianca, i'm SO SORRY this has happened to you! i'm so relieved the kitties were okay, you're okay, and you have renter's insurance. out of all the bonghits that made up my high school years, the one useful thing i gleaned from my HS diploma was the "get renter's insurance!" that my home ec. teacher grilled into my head.
i know i'm really far away, but if you need to just vent, drop me a line. you are very blessed to have such an awesome support network during this very unfair time. i hope justice is served.

Geez! What's up with all that? Your calm and cool attitude is admirable. That's awesome that your kitties are fine and you've got good people supporting you :)
- January 16, 2009 at 10:32 AM
- Jenn said...
OMG, Noooooo!!!
I had a crap day yesterday, too and I had to keep thinking, "well at least I wasn't in a plane crash." Add to that now, "well at least I didn't get freakin' robbed."
Geez. I hope they get those crack heads. That takes a lot of balls to steal your stuff twice.
Sucks the police can't seem to do anything. I think you should take tahinitoo's offer of booby traps and catch them Brady Bunch style.
- January 16, 2009 at 11:12 AM
- Shenandoah Vegan said...
You should have bars put on the windows. Check the local pawnshops for your laptop. If it were me, I'd retaliate, but I guess it's not safe to start a war if your kitties aren't always protected.

O thats just the worst thing that could happen, glad you and your fuzzies are safe tho
- January 16, 2009 at 12:05 PM

Not again! Ugh, thieves infuriates me. I'm glad you have renter's insurance now and such an awesome group of people to support you.

- Amey said...
OH MY GOD. Bianca,
I am so sorry! That is a giant sadness. It's gotta be scary living in a place that has been broken into twice. whew. You are in my thoughts. I'll be sending your little cookbook off as soon as I got back to California this weekend... hopefully it will bring you a little cheer.
- January 16, 2009 at 3:10 PM
WTF! I'm so sorry, Bianca - sadly I've heard of that happening - jerks that figure out how to get into a place and figure out your schedule and try again. I'm so glad you have insurance, but it's still so icky. You have wonderful parents and wonderful friends - and I'm so glad your kitties were there and ok.
- January 16, 2009 at 3:38 PM
That's really shitty. I hope you didn't lose too much on your computer. I'm glad to hear all your kitties were safe and sound.
- January 16, 2009 at 3:56 PM
JEEZ why do they keep coming after you?! That's crazy! But thank God you bought renter's insurance!!
- January 16, 2009 at 7:21 PM
- Rachel said...
I'm so sorry that this happened to you! As others have said, the psychological/emotional side of something like this is often the hardest thing to deal with. Stay strong!
On the booby trap idea...maybe one of those 'nanny cam' deals hidden inside a teddy bear or something, pointed toward the area where they keep breaking in? At least that way if they strike a third time, you would have proof of who it was.
On a positive note, i discovered your blog a few months ago, and have really been enjoying your recipes. The healthy breakfast wrap looks really good!

Bianca! My lord, that is really the limit! I can't imagine how frustrated you must be right now! The police are so useless about stuff like this too... I really hope you come up with a solution to this problem that helps you to feel more safe.
So sorry doll!

Oh my goodness Bianca! I'm just seeing this now and I"m SO SO sorry this happened to you again! Glad to hear you weren't home and that your kitties didn't run off but that really really sucks about your computer.

Oh noooooo! What a miserable thing to happen in the first place (I remember you posting when it happened) and how awful to have it happen AGAIN! No one should have to put up with that!!

Wake Up!
Brooklyn said, "Mama, do you have your ears peered?"
In my, "I haven't had coffee yet!" state, I had no clue what she was saying.
"Huh?" I croaked.
"Do you have your ears peered?"
"What are you talking about?" I asked, trying to shake the cobwebs from my head.
She sighed, exasperated at my obvious stupidity and spelled it out for me. "E G S T K!"
I was suddenly awake, cracking up at her spelling. "Ohhhh", I said. "Are my ears pierced?"
"Yes!" she squealed, happy that I finally understood her.
"You're silly, Brooklyn."
"No, you silly, Mama!"
That's better than an alarm clock any day. :)

Reminded me of my son's way of waking me up (17 years ago). He'd come in at the crack of dawn and pry my eyes open with his little stubby fingers and then say "Sun's Up!". I am not a morning person at all but this always cracked me up.

When my middle son was little he would come in my room as soon as the sun was up and say "Mommy the sun's awake". I'm so not a morning person but how could I refuse a cute little face and voice when it's said like that?

So cute! My 19 month old son sleeps with us (that wasn't the plan, but its the only way he'll sleep through the night). He woke me up at 4am the other day with a big slobbery kiss, said "hi Mommy - night night" then he laid back down and went back to sleep. No idea what that was about, but its the only time I actually smiled about being woken up at 4am!

oh what a lovely story! The wild ones are the cutest aren't they? Our 21 month old also sleeps in our bed - well at least from whenever she wakes at night which sometimes is only from 5 or 6am, and she does the cutest things too - like kiss us awake. Sometimes she'll even share her dreams, like saying "ahdis" (for Upsy Daisy from In the Nightgarden - do you know this programme in the US? Probably not, it's very charming and lovely). To be honest, there's nothing nicer than waking up with her (and sharing the one hour of her being not hyper) and though we never planned to co-sleep, admittedly we're enjoying it a lot.

Peered ears are the best! Reminds me of a limerick I learned in grade school:
"There was a young man who said "why? can't I look in my ear with my eye?
I'm sure I could do it if I set my mind to it.
You never can tell till you try!'"
Now why is it I can remember that but I can't remember where I laid my glasses? Oh, I turned 60 today, that's why! :)

When we were stationed in NC, and living in base housing, our boys got the room that faced east. I'm not a morning person regardless of how much sleep I get or what time it is. My oldest (then 3, now 15) came in one morning as the sun rose, and cheerily said at a loud volume "Hi Mama!"
"ugh, it's early, why are you awake?"
"cuz the sun's up!"
Of course. DUH. I learned he took everything I say literally at that moment. After having difficulty settling him down at night, I'd been telling him to stay in bed till the morning. He didn't comprehend "morning", so I tried to put it in 3 year old terms. It worked. He stayed in bed till the sun came up in the sky. Looking at his sleep habits now, I it wouldn't suprise me if he staked out the window to watch for the sunrise.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Actor G.W. Bailey shared the spotlight Sunday as celebrity king of the Bacchus parade — one the biggest in the run-up to Mardi Gras — with more than two dozen child cancer patients from across the country.
Bailey suited up in his Bacchus tunic and cape and rode with 28 teens and children being treated for cancer. Their route through New Orleans allowed them to toss Mardi Gras beads and trinkets to throngs of crowds well into the night.
Bailey — known as the co-star of "Major Crimes" on TNT and for roles in the "Police Academy" movies and the series "The Closer" — said New Orleans at Mardi Gras is a great place to escape, especially for teenagers needing a break from cancer treatments and doctor appointments.
"I've had the opportunity to travel a good deal of the world, and I am not just saying this, there is no question I am in my favorite city in the world," he said. "I mean, the color, the sounds, the smells, the energy, the people, the food and obviously the music, how can you not love it?"
Bailey grew up in Port Arthur, Texas, near the Louisiana border, and says he has fond memories of visiting "that magical place" where he would walk the French Quarter, catch beads at Mardi Gras and eat some of the best food he's ever tasted. He said this weekend he relished the opportunity to share those experiences with young cancer patients.
As executive director for the Sunshine Foundation, a nonprofit organization with the mission of bringing joy to children being treated for cancer, Bailey arranged for 28 patients known as "Sunshine kids" to join him in New Orleans for his Bacchus reign. The group arrived Tuesday to a packed schedule that included trips to the Aquarium of the Americas, Audubon Zoo and French Quarter.
The group also took a south Louisiana swamp tour and attended Saturday's Endymion parade.
Bailey said he's been involved with the Sunshine Foundation for 27 years and has been executive director for 12. He said the foundation regularly organizes trips for young cancer patients to major U.S. cities.
He said that for years, patients would ride in suburban parades or downtown New Orleans parades in the weeks before Mardi Gras. But Bailey's reign as Bacchus thrust the actor and kids into the city's biggest Carnival weekend and atop floats on one of its biggest parades.
The revelry continues Monday, the eve of Mardi Gras known locally as Lundi Gras. That's when actor Gary Sinise and New Orleans musicians Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews and Harry Connick Jr. will ride in the Krewe of Orpheus parade. Joining them will be Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actress Mariska Hargitay, the Imagination Movers family-friendly rock band, and Animal Planet's Tillman, the skateboarding bulldog.
Carnival season culminates Tuesday with the pageantry of the Rex and Zulu parades and as many as 1 million people reveling in the streets.
The parade routes were packed with revelers by early Sunday, despite the threat of rain and a shooting on Bourbon Street the night before. Some had set up tents, folding chairs, even barbecue pits. Ladders were set up with seats at the top for kids to get a good view of the revelry.
"The show must go on," said William Daviss, donning a black and white striped costume and yellow face mask as he boarded a float in the Krewe of Thoth parade, one of several that rolled Sunday.
"This is what Mardi Gras is all about right here," said Patrick Browne of New Orleans, hugging his 1-year-old son Patrick Browne IV. The younger Patrick had a birds-eye view of the parade from the top of a ladder, which his dad had equipped with a small seat and handle bar.
The rain appeared to be a minor concern. Most had arrived at the parade route prepared.
"We have ponchos. We have our jackets. We have umbrellas. We have everything. We are set," said Janell Weber of Baton Rouge, La., wearing a hat boasting long purple, green and gold streamers.
The previous night's shooting was on the minds of revelers.
"It was very disappointing," said New Orleans resident Carol Redmann-Bailey as she watched Thoth roll by. "I was disappointed and sad, but it seems like Bourbon Street stayed open. Laissez les bon temps rouler. Let the good times roll."

Pollyanna Penguin's middle-size adventureNovember 27, 2009 at 11:45 am | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 3 Comments
Tags: London Underground, R.A., RA, rhematoid arthritis, rheumatoid, Rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), sleep, train travel, trains
Following on from my big adventure to Barcelona earlier in the year, I'm off to Wales for the weekend. It's going to take substantially longer to get there than it did to get to Barcelona. I'm going by train and I'm rather dreading the journey.
Fortunately Maggie, she of the occasional comments on this blog and provider of the link to the real life chocolate pizza, is putting me up for a night on the way there, so that breaks the journey a bit, but next week I shall be coming home from Wales in one fell swoop.
On the train I'll be able to get up and stretch my legs now and then, and I might even be able to sleep for part of it, so it has advantages over car travel from an R.A. point of view. Hopefully I won't get too madly stiff. What I'm worried about is the fact that I have a total of ten trains to catch in the next five days, excluding London Underground links which are the biggest pain of all, and the British train service is notoriously unreliable … to put it politely. Combine that with severe weather warnings across the south of England (I have to travel through London both ways), and it could be an 'interesting' weekend.
At least I'm looking forward to seeing Maggie and family and my friends in Wales. Pity that all their Christmas presents are due to arrive in the post to me at work today, and I'm not going into work – I didn't time that very well!

So far so good on the trains running to time! It was lovely to see you, and if you DO need to take a break on the way home again, just shout. Otherwise have a good time and a safe journey home.

Genealogy Envy
I often get frustrated when tracing my family history because I rarely find anything interesting. "My family history is so boring", I often complain to my genealogy buddy, Robyn. "Your family history is much more interesting", I tell her. Robyn just laughs and says, "Girl, you are so silly!!!"
Sometimes when I listen to Robyn talk about her family history, I get a slight case of genealogy envy. One of her family lines is the Holt's from Hardin County, Tennessee. She is related to Lester Holt who is a news anchor for the weekend edition of NBC's Today and Nightly News. Her Holt relatives intermarried on two sides of Alex Haley's family and she is related to his paternal grandmother, Queen. The Haley's have been a part of her family for awhile and attend the family reunions. Her great great grandfather, John Holt, was the largest black landowner in Hardin County, was the Postmaster, owned a store and had a school named for him (Holtsville).
If that is not enough, another of her family lines is the Waters from Eastern Shore, MD. Several of them were Methodist ministers and the family had been free since 1819. Her paternal grandmother, Pauline Waters Smith, went to Bennett College and served on the Board of Trustees. Her paternal great grandmother was a Prather and was educated at the Institute for Colored Youth in Pennsylvania, a prominent school that later became Cheyney University and is the oldest historically black college and university (HBCU) in the nation.
And there is even more. Her grandfather (Pauline's husband) William Smith started a string of successful pharmacies in Jacksonville in the 1940s. The family was well-known and prosperous. They owned a beach house on American Beach – a popular beach for Negroes in Florida during the era of segregation – and were featured in several newspaper articles.
On top of all this she has met numerous new relatives. And almost every new relative she meets shares a ton of pictures and information with her. The room in her house where she does her genealogy research looks like a museum with all the photos of her ancestors!!!
Most family historians would love to have ancestors who were movers and shakers in their community. However, for many that will not be the case. Many of our ancestors were just ordinary people who spent their lives working hard to provide their families with the basic necessities of life.
I come from a family of ordinary folks who lived ordinary lives. My family is very private and does not talk much about the family history. There is no oral history that was passed down through the generations. I have a few photos of my grandparents, but nothing for the previous generations. Most of the family history I know I obtained in bits and pieces from relatives and a lot of research.
I have not met anyone who is researching my direct family line. However, I have met a few cousins who are descendants from siblings of my great grandfather, Overton Roy Woodfork. One cousin in Philadelphia had an interest in the family history and had done research. She shared with me a family bible, pictures and other documents that were very helpful. We still talk occasionally. I have met a few other new cousins who have been helpful as well.
One time I thought I had found something interesting, but it fizzled out. I was contacted by the descendant of my ancestors slave owner (Elijah Wiggelsworth) after being featured in a news article about the Central Rappahannock Heritage Center (CRHC) in Fredericksburg, Virginia. We scheduled a meeting. The meeting was pleasant, but uneventful. The majority of the information the lady had on the Wiggelsworth family was after the Civil War (which was not very helpful to me) and she did not have any information on their slaves.
I plan to read Melvin Collier's book 150 Years Later: Broken Ties Mended in which he discusses his journey to locate descendants of his ancestors who were separated during slavery. I believe the book concludes with a discussion of how all the descendants he located got together for a family reunion 150 years after their ancestors had been separated. How exciting!!! Maybe one day I will be so lucky.
November 8, 2011 at 9:25 am
This article is well written (the word "be" was omitted in the final paragraph, however). It gives the reader information on two families—one a family of "movers and shakers" and the orther, a family of "ordinary" people. Most of us will fall into the latter category where our research job may be a bit more difficult. I feel that the "ordinary" people will have fewer traceable, verifiable records available to those descendants doing family research today. The personal reward and pride of learning about genetic forefathers is just as great!
November 10, 2011 at 10:50 am
Marion, I really like the concept of a blog about "ordinary people". I agree that not everyone has made discoveried of ancestors like Robyn's. I don't have a blog, but hope to do one soon. Based on my research, I have documented short stories about individual ancestors to share with family members. In my research, I have been fortunate enough to find at least one thing of interest about each ancestor, around which I focus their life story. There is something about every individual which makes them special, whether it is raising 9 children as a widower; working for a family of whites and raising their children (I was reminded of some of my ancestors when I saw the movie "The Help"); organizational involvement and church affiliations; military service and the regimental battles they participated in; etc. I think it is up to us to take these "ordinary people" and tell their stories in the context of the extraordinary events occurring at the time and place where our ancestors lived. That is the opportunity your blog provides. I'd like to see more positive stories about seemingly "ordinary people". Good luck! Alice
November 11, 2011 at 9:43 am
You couldn't have said it better. We are ordinary people, and just the discovery of family heritage makes this journey so rewarding. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and family history with us.
November 12, 2011 at 9:30 am
welcome to geneablogging! the details on Robyn's family are interesting for sure and I look forward to reading more about your family & research also. Robyn's been great – she provided me with some data about one of my family members awhile ago. 🙂 I have added your blog to my RSS reader so I can keep up with your new posts!
November 12, 2011 at 11:27 am
Welcome to Geneabloggers! I am so excited about your blog. I am amazed already by the photo's you attached on your post. "Ordinary" may be the case but "Ordinary" does not mean doing things in an extra-ordinary way. Just think of all the stories that can be told that were never told. As you research you will find that this journey of yours will be very rewarding. I am already drawn in by those you detailed on your post! I look forward to reading more.
November 12, 2011 at 9:21 pm
Like you I have what I would call a very ordinary family. Mostly farmers that worked hard, but no one that made a drastic difference or changed the world. I have felt the ancestor envy you spoke about in your post. But I have learned that while my ancestors were not notable enough to make it in to history books they still had value and the joy is in finding their details…however small. I suppose what makes their story interesting is that it is also my story. Best of luck in finding your story!
November 13, 2011 at 11:58 am
My family is ordinary folk, too. But once in a while, a story comes my way that makes my eyebrows go up. Like the one about an uncle of my Dad's who got into a fight, was bitten on his thumb, developed a raging infection and died within a few days. When I confirmed the story by finding a mention in a newspaper of the time, I was pretty amazed.
But being able to expand my knowledge of my parents' families has been so fulfilling for me, even the stories that seem a little strange. I understand them so much better now.
Congrats on your blog! May many more bits of information come your way to help you on your quest.

The following component of my strategy concerned changing the resort masseur. Right here Google arrived in useful. Typing in "massage", "male", and "escort" created an enormous listing of solutions. Sadly the majority of these had been directed in the homosexual neighborhood, but by screening via and only choosing these who noticed feminine customers only, I used to be in a position to slim it right down to a workable quantity. Subsequent I chosen only these who supplied pictures or would deliver them more than the web. This nonetheless still left much more than fifty "applicants", so subsequent I chosen only these who said they experienced therapeutic massage encounter. I realised the entire session might go no additional than the usual easy therapeutic massage so there experienced to become some extent of experience to make sure it was not a whole dud of the session. Also I did not want it becoming so poor that a grievance towards the resort administration could be produced!

I then despatched an e-mail detailing my ask for to a couple of dozen websites, many of them companies, many of them independents. The company replies had been all fairly regular and it appeared like they'd a pre-prepared reaction, which was to become anticipated I suppose because they most likely obtain a large amount of junk email messages to deal with. The independents fell into two teams. First of all, and simply discarded had been those clearly just out to get a totally free root. Their solutions had been both totally free, or some nominal charge, indicating they were not the expert services I used to be following. The next team gave far more believed for their responses, and 1 stood out a mile on just about all fronts.
Joel's reply started using the phrases, "Thankyou for contemplating me for this service….". He went on to explain himself in additional depth than his internet website gave. He was an novice athlete, getting finished at nationwide degree, who was presently placing himself via school. Biking was his activity, and clearly he stored himself in extremely great bodily form. To assist include his expenses he did each therapeutic and sensual therapeutic massage. Discretion was crucial to him and he assured it for his clients. His charge was $200 for each session, whether or not it lasted quarter-hour or two hrs. This was uncommon I believed, but amazed me as indicating he experienced a particular satisfaction in his function, viewing every session as occupation to become finished instead of some thing to look at the clock by.

Spyware can cause some unexplained PC behavior, especially for your browser. So if things are happening that you did not initiate, you may be a victim. Some common browser spyware behaviors include:
A browser hijacker is a type of spyware that changes your browser settings so that when you open the Internet you're redirected to a webpage other than your typical homepage. Spyware villains typically profit from infecting machines with this browser spyware because they direct significant traffic to a specific website and then are paid by the amount of people that visit the website and/or advertisement. In short, hijacked search results equal more money for them. Aside from the annoyance of being redirected and making the bad guy money, hijackers can install dangerous browser spyware that can cause irreparable damage to your files and programs as well as jeopardize your personal information and identity.
You visit a Web site, open an email message or download a picture. You click on a rogue antispyware-pop-up with the message "WARNING! Your computer is infected with spyware!" Somewhere in your normal online computing activities, spyware silently loads itself onto your computer. Once on your PC, it sets up shop by installing itself in many places. This makes it difficult to remove and can lead to disruption of all the files and programs to which it has attached itself. Browser spyware programs continuously reset your homepage so they are easily recognized, but other forms of spyware can run completely undetected by the user.
A spyware-infected PC can significantly disrupt your system's performance, slowing your PC to a crawl and causing frequent computer crashes. Without your knowledge or permission, it now has the ability to:
Here are a few simple things you can do to prevent further browser spyware symptoms and reclaim your homepage:
The best way to keep your PC running normally is to prevent browser spyware infection in the first place. Products like Webroot Internet Security Essentials and Webroot AntiVirus with Spy Sweeper guard against spyware entering your computer and prevent it from slowing your PC through damage to your files and programs. A good antispyware program searches every place on your PC where spyware can hide and removes every trace to boost your PC performance. While free antispyware downloads are available, they just can't keep up with the continuous onslaught of new spyware strains. Previously undetected forms of spyware can often do the most damage to your PC, so it's critical to have up-to-the-minute, guaranteed protection.

#1 BumGenius 3.0
The diaper that makes up more than 50% of my pocket diaper stash is the BumGenius 3.0. I love this diaper and can't rave about it enough. It is the perfect diaper for taking on the road with me for quick day trips, as well as leaving home with daddy or the babysitter to change. I've even had success packing the BumGenius, along with my Planet Wise Wet Bag, and leaving it at the Church nursery when I drop my kids off on Sunday morning. This diaper is incredibly absorbent, rarely leaks, and contains the biggest blowouts – even with breastfed baby poop. (Can anyone say that about a disposable?) My youngest son, Brendan, began wearing the BumGenius 3.0 at around 3 months old and around 13 lbs. The fit was fantastic then, and now at 1 year old and 24 lbs, the fit is still wonderful.
#2 Birdseye Flats
Yes, you read that right. I use flats and love them! I only wish I would have discovered how easy they are to use earlier in my cloth diapering days. Last month I was looking for a cheap alternative to using my pocket diapers while I was at home, which is most of the time. I wanted to lessen the wear on my BumGenius diapers, and wanted something that would be simple to care for. I did some research and decided to give flats a try. I was attracted to the low price, as well as the ease in washing and drying them. Being so thin, they dry very quickly, which in turn saves me money when using my electric dryer. Living in WI I just can't line dry my fluff year round as I would like to - I'd end up with cloth diaper popsicles. In most cases, I use two styles of folds when using my flats – the traditional flat fold and the origami fold.
Traditional Flat Fold
Begin by folding the flat in half.
Fold one side of the diaper just past the center of the cloth.
Fold the other side just past the same center mark on the cloth so that there are now several layers of cloth in the center of the diaper.
I then fold the side of the diaper as shown for tapered fit.
Place diaper in cover, folded side down and you're ready to go.
Origami Flat Fold
Start by folding the diaper in half, and then in half again to create a square
At the top corner where all four corners meet, grab the top three layers with one hand, and put the other corner away, so that there is a triangle of fabric flat on the folding surface. (This took me a few tries to perfect, so don't be discouraged if it takes a few times to get it right.)
You will notice a square shaped piece of fabric attached to the center of the triangle. Fold this square to around the center of the "square".
Fold again into the far edge of the square, and adjust to the center of the "triangle" if necessary.
For a trimmer fit around the legs, you can gently fold in the sides of the diaper as shown here.
Place the folded diaper in a cover and you're ready to go.
I lay my folded diapers in a Thirsties or Bummis diaper cover and we're good to go. I don't even bother with pins or snappis, as I've found that I really don't need them when using a proper fitting diaper wrap or cover.
#3 Blueberry Minky One Size
I only own two of these diapers, but if they are clean, I will always grab for them when I want to show off my fluff. The fire opal and cute jaguar prints always catch people's attention at changing time, or when I am letting my little guy run around the house in just a diaper. I've started several conversations on cloth diapering with people after they catch a glimpse of these way too cute diapers. I'm anxious to add a few more of these to my stash in the next few months. Sooner or later the warmer weather will find us in Wisconsin , and my little guy will be able to strut around in just a diaper.
Well, that's a peak into my world of fluff and a little a about my favorite diapers. I have several other brands in my stash that I like including, Fuzzi Bunz, BumWear, Thirsties Fab Fitteds and several made by a work at home mom. I am always anxious to try new diapers, and can't wait to check out the Kiwi Pie One Size Bamboo Fitteds as well as the new Gro Baby and Fuzzi Bunz One Size diapers. Not that I need any more fluff…but doesn't it seem we are always wanting more?

First and foremost we always recommend consulting with your pediatrician, they are far more experienced and qualified to determine whether the rash requires any medical treatment or if it's nothing to fret about.
Now, the good news for those who cloth diapers, rashes are a less common occurrence. Studies have shown approximately 5% of cloth diapered babies experience diaper rash issues as opposed to 50%+ amongst the disposable diapered babies.
Why such a drastic difference between the two?
Disposable diapers are made from plastics, not paper like many people mistakenly believe (even chlorine-free diapers are also made from plastic polymers). Plastic does not allow the skin to breathe properly and causes heat retention which can ultimately leads to rashes.
Additionally, some babies are very sensitive to the chemicals found in disposable diapers and are unable to wear them at all without developing severe blistering rashes. This is referred to as allergic contact dermatitis.
However, diaper rashes aren't exclusive to the disposable diapering bunch. Rashes that occur with cloth diaper usage are typically either the result of prolonged wetness, sensitivity or reaction to detergent and/or bacterial residues on the diaper, or more rarely an allergic reaction to material/fabric itself.
Prolonged Wetness
Frequent diaper changes will generally resolve rash issues caused by prolonged wetness. It also helps to ensure baby is dry before putting another clean diaper on. Allow your children a few moments between changes to "air out."
Some babies develop yeast rashes/infections due to continuous exposure to moisture/wetness, especially in their little nooks and crannies since yeast thrives in warm and moist areas. Therefore, it's especially important to change baby regularly and ensure they are dry.
It's important to note when battling a yeast rash/infection – the diapers do require disinfection. Otherwise, bacteria from the rash linger in the diapers and can ultimately re-infect your little one making the rash last for weeks and sometimes months on end!
Ways to disinfect your diapers
These are also helpful if you suspect a rash due to a buildup of bacteria as well…
Hot Water
Make sure you're using hot water to wash your diapers (after your initial cold rinses of course). Hot water does help in killing a good majority of bacteria.
Depending on what type of diapers you're using – you may consider using between ¼ - ½ cup vinegar in the main wash. The vinegar is acidic and works to kill most, if not all the bacteria.
Be one with the SUN! Sunning is an excellent way to rid your diapers of bacteria naturally. It also helps whiten, brighten and remove pesky stains from your diapers.
Skin Reactions
Adverse skin reactions are trickier to figure out since there are so many!
If there is detergent buildup on your diapers then it is likely a child will experience a reaction due to the buildup while other children may truly have a sensitivity to the particular detergent. I suggest washing the diapers several times in hot water with no detergents or additives to ensure the diapers are free from detergent residues and see if that doesn't resolve the issue. If a true allergy to the detergent is suspected then it is recommended to discontinue use of the product.
There are other skin reactions such as eczema, psoriasis, or just plain friction which results in rashes. Although rare, some children develop a sensitivity or allergy to synthetic fabrics and well. Therefore, it's really important to consulting with your pediatrician or family doctor as they have years of experience and seen the gamut of rashes to provide a proper diagnosis.
Diaper Creams, Medicated Ointments and Powders
If you thought your cloth diaper options were numerous – try checking out the number of diaper creams and ointments on the market! A large majority of diaper creams and ointments aren't cloth diaper friendly. There are a few that are, and my personal favorite is Northern Essence Better Butt(er). One of you wonderful mamas asked me about it a couple weeks ago so I decided to order some and test it myself… this stuff is wonderful! It has a lovely whipped texture and goes on very easy! I noticed a comparable improvement in my son's yeast rash overnight (on par with the prescription cream from the doctor).
Additionally, it has done wonders to soothe my poor hands which are affected terribly by eczema! My little guy scraped his chin raw the other day, I decided to rub some Northern Essence Better Butt(er) on it and the next day there was a noticeable improvement! I need to buy a vat of this stuff!
Even with the use of cloth diaper friendly creams or salves, I like to recommend the use of a protective barrier/liner just to be cautious. Disposable liners such as the Bummis Bio-Soft liners or washable/reusable liners such as Hemp Babies Raw Silk liners are wonderful products that I recommend. On a budget? Make your own liners by cutting up an old t-shirt or some very thin fleece.
I do not recommend the use of baby powder or corn starch. This is unnecessary and has been known to cause more problems than any possible good. Studies have shown babies do inhale the powder which can lead to respiratory problems. Additionally, baby powder is believed to be associated with the increase in Urinary Tract infections (UTI's) and promotes yeast rashes (especially when using corn starch based baby powders).
NOTE: If you're using medicated creams or ointments that aren't cloth diaper friendly it's important that you wash all wipes and liners separately from your diapers, otherwise the creams/ointment can be deposited onto the diapers during the wash cycle and cause repellency issues.

The mob of people looking to hang the executives of power companies from their own utility poles has to be disappointed at the fact that the state can't get them in fast enough to do the rebuilding it needs to accomplish.
After the major utilities' frigorific performance in the days and weeks after Sandy barreled over utility poles and weaved trees through power lines, it was hard to find anyone with nice things to say about JCP&L or PSE&G, especially when the snow blew in and the sounds of snoring in the night were replaced by the chattering of teeth. Some of the criticism, though, is beginning to border on the ridiculous.
The suggestion, for instance, that utilities rebuild their infrastructure underground has picked up steam over the last week. Underground systems, say critics, won't be affected by downed trees and high winds, while the companies insist no system is fully weatherproof and the costs — which could be as high as $2.1 million per mile, according to an industry estimate — are prohibitive. When things go wrong, repairing underground infrastructure also is more complicated than overheads wires — just have a look at the PATH system.
There's no way power companies should be making that kind of investment — and no way customers will agree to pay for it, even when the next major storm kills the lights for a few days. The severity of this storm was unprecedented, and while there's no excuse for the fact that some homes are still dark, the utilities took appropriate steps in getting manpower in line to be ready to correct problems. We hope, like other companies looking at how the rebuilding will proceed, the utilities carefully examine areas that are consistently slammed by tropical storms and make underground or other hardening investments where it makes the most sense. That's probably the most sensible compromise, and one that should be palatable to power customers — at least, when they get their electricity back.

The name's Banks. First off, I love Buffalo and hope I never leave -- ever. I went to Lancaster High School, then I studied marketing at the University at Buffalo and boogied out of there a little early. I interned here for marketing, and after I paid them all off (JK, JK), they decided to keep me, and I landed up on the radio. I love this job and everything about it -- except when I can't find the coffee to make when I have to work overnight. I believe in taking less, in always giving back and that the worst thing in life is being completely average.
