Matt and I were celebrating our one year anniversary when I woke up feeling…off. I had had a low backache a few days before, and that morning I woke up with a wave of nausea–the kind where you feel it in the back of your neck and feel like you might pass out. It passed as quickly as it came, but when Matt left for work I decided to take a pregnancy test.
We had been trying to get pregnant for months. And months. And months. I was so used to a negative pregnancy test, I just thought I was going through the motions (again). It was also the day before my missed period, so I knew I might be testing too soon. And, to top it off, I'd been charting my temps and thought they weren't high enough. I had already given up on this cycle.
My friend Katie had recommended these ovulation predictor strips that came with pregnancy tests. These are waaaaay cheaper than the kind you normally buy at the drug store, so they were great for my monthly habit of peeing on a stick.
I waited the two minutes and came back in to check. SUPER. FAINT. LINE.
Cue test #2.
Cue trip to the drug store, where I bought two more pregnancy tests that I thought might be more accurate. I knew that a line is a line is a line but I needed another brand to tell me that! So after another test: TWO. PINK. LINES. Clear as day.
But, of course, that's never enough, so I took the digital test. Within a minute, it read: YES+
I was shocked. Genuinely. After you see what feels like a million negative pregnancy tests, you're convinced you'll literally never see a positive one. But there it was.
Matt came home for lunch and I was able to give him a "gift" for our anniversary: the positive tests. We were both ecstatic and overjoyed, and Matt said, "It's a Christmas miracle!"
That was December 12th, and to say that I've enjoyed the first trimester would be…insane. Here's our first trimester update:
Feeling: The first few weeks my pride got a hold of me. We found out just before week 4, and I was feeling great. I just knew I'd have an easy pregnancy.
Weeks 6-12 were full of nausea; all day, every day. There was just no relief. Weeks 8-10ish were also full of vomiting that never brought any relief.
I was also wildly exhausted, and sleeping a lot. To those of you who have to go to work every day feeling like this, I applaud you. #badassery
Appointments: We got in with my OB's office pretty quickly, but didn't have our first "real" appointment until week 8 where they did the dating ultrasound. Seeing that flickering heartbeat was…surreal. I know a lot of people say that, but it was honestly still kind of shocking. I didn't even cry, and I am a CRIER. Matt and I were just so happy to see Little Bird's heart beating away at a rapid 178bpm.
We had another ultrasound at 12 weeks to check for Down Syndrome (negative), and this time Little Bird looked much more like a baby! As soon as the wand was on my belly, she started jumping and dancing. The heart beat was still strong and beautiful at 161bpm, and we were able to see baby's arms in little fists by the head and how she was laying.
I had recently read a study about how ultrasound techs were challenged to guess a baby's sex between weeks 11-14, and how the techs were 98% accurate at 12 weeks! So we decided to have our tech take a guess.
She knew immediately what Little Bird was (girl), and was very confident! Later that week, our genetic screening blood test (also negative, thankfully!) confirmed the sex of the baby. (Side note: isn't it crazy that they can tell the sex of the baby by drawing MY blood?!?) Knowing what Little Bird is has made this so much more real.
Finally, we made the decision to transfer care to Gainesville Midwives for the rest of our pregnancy and have a home birth since we're low risk and I don't love hospitals. My dear friend Kerri is a midwife, and we're so excited to have her caring for us and Little Bird! We're prayerful for a smooth, uneventful pregnancy and birth so that we can do this in the peace of our home.
Craving: Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich // Sonny's BBQ // crab legs (I put away 3lbs of these) // fruit // french fries // McDonalds (can't you tell I ate really healthy in the first trimester?!) // phô // anything vinegar-y
Hating: Coffee! I can't stand it. // eggs
Other thoughts on the first trimester:
- My friend Madison keeps telling me, "pregnancy is NOT for the faint of heart." And she couldn't be more right. The worry is insane. The first trimester was primarily filled with worrying about miscarriage and whether or not the baby was okay. Now that we've moved into the second trimester, the worry has simply shifted to hoping that baby doesn't have any diseases or growth issues. I know worrying is a new constant since I'm a mother now, so I'm trying to settle into that and lean onto my Heavenly Father who loves this sweet baby even more than we do!
- Creating a registry is overwhelming.
- Natural birth books are wildly outdated. Someone write a new one!
- Not 100% if we will share baby's name. The name is something so personal and I love the thought of announcing along with the baby's birth. Seems so regal. (I know we'll miss out on monogrammed gifts, but I'm so particular about monograms anyway that might be a good thing!)
- I'll share more about why we're choosing the home birth route and what that looks like. It's definitely not for everyone, but it's so important to know that you have options in birth!

Angela Lindsay - Pharmacist and Dementia Champion
In her role as lead clinical pharmacist, Angela has a strong commitment to day-to-day involvement with elderly patients. She sees many people with dementia and has developed a particular interest in this area. She was fortunate to have the opportunity to be working in a hospital which had recently established a new ward developed specifically for patients with dementia.
This interest and experience led Angela to identify both a service and a personal need to improve care for patients with dementia. She felt it essential to increase her knowledge and skills in this area so she could more effectively meet the needs of this particular group of patients and, in turn help, to improve their experience in the unit/hospital.
Angela heard about the Dementia Champions programme and made initial contact with a pharmacy colleague in NES to get more information and establish criteria for participation on the programme. From there she was put in touch with a representative from the University of West of Scotland, the delivery partners for the programme, to discuss the training and specifically what a pharmacist could contribute through becoming a Dementia Champion.
It was on the basis of that discussion that Angela applied for and secured a place in the 3rd cohort of Dementia Champions which she started in October 2012 and completed in early 2013.
She found accessing resources on the NES website - the Promoting Excellence Framework, Informed about Dementia, the Managed Knowledge Network for Dementia and the Promoting Excellence in Dementia care newsletters etc.- a vital source of information and support throughout the course.
Angela said: "Having now completed the programme, I realise that the course was just the start of my learning and commitment to promoting improved care for people with dementia. I have a responsibility now to share my learning and experience with my pharmacy colleagues at all levels to try and change practice within my sphere of influence - which is, in my particular case - within the acute hospital setting.
"I now belong to a network of Dementia Champions in Glasgow which includes a diverse range of professionals: nurses, speech therapists and physiotherapists, among others. We are coordinated by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde's Alzheimer Scotland Dementia Nurse Specialist, meeting up as regularly as we can to share learning and provide support."
One of the assignments during the Dementia Champions programme involves a Workplace Evaluation where the trainee on the course has to go back to their area of work and engage with colleagues to review their service against four of the Quality of Life Indicators as set out in the Promoting Excellence Framework. In this exercise, Angela involved pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in identifying areas of good practice and areas where improvements could be made. The results of this evaluation are then used to draw up a plan for the final "Change" assignment which is about "making a change" in your area to improve care for people with dementia.
On completion of this element of the course, Angela said: "One of the key areas of learning for me was that pharmacy staff are not always aware of the symptoms of dementia or of the many and complex issues that can affect people with dementia, particularly within the hospital environment. Staff were not always confident about communicating with the patients and highlighted their wish for more information and support to allow them to engage more effectively with them.
"We need more awareness across our workforce and that is why part of my Change Assignment has been to start delivering dementia awareness sessions - roadshows - to pharmacy staff on the acute hospital sites within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde promoting and utilising the same NES resources I found to be so helpful during my own training".
She went on: "I am using the opportunity of getting out and speaking to people on these issues to highlight a vital area of practice and to embed/promote the Promoting Excellence Framework now. The recently published National Dementia Care Action Plan for Acute Care has already identified the need to develop the workforce against the Framework as one of their 10 actions to improve care for people with dementia and staff will undoubtedly be hearing more and more about this following the publication of Scotland's 2nd National Dementia Strategy (June 2013).
"People are responding extremely positively which is great, and I've now started receiving requests to take the roadshow into other sectors of pharmacy services too."
The Dementia message is getting out there, particularly through this Champion.

Sports venues such as clubs and stadiums are among those commercial properties that are at an increased risk for fires. This is especially true if the venue incorporates a commercial kitchen which is quite often the case.
In the same way as restaurants and hotels, those sports venues with commercial kitchens need special measures in place to quickly detect and fight a blaze.
Even more so as compared to residential structures, it is critical that a fire is being extinguished while keeping downtime for kitchen operations at a minimum. In addition to that, no toxic or otherwise harmful extinguishing agents can be used.
The Ansul kitchen fire suppression system is a fire suppression system that is proven to work reliably. It can quickly detect and fight a blaze caused by hot kitchen equipment such as grilles or broilers. It is also capable of cooling down cooking equipment to prevent re-flashing.
What makes the Ansul kitchen fire suppression system unique is the fact that its extinguishing agent is self-dissolving. This means that there is no more major cleanup required and downtime due to a blaze will be minimal. The agent used is also non-toxic which makes the system ideal for restaurants, hotels or clubs.
Fire safety for public locations should always be a top priority, this is why I recommend that you look into modern fire detection suppression systems. More information on fire hazard prevention can be found at http://www.pcs.org.uk/en/resources/health_and_safety/hazardsatoz/fire-safety-1.cfm

"You guys do more damage to kids than the parents!" Most Child Protective Services Supervisors and caseworkers would consider this malicious slander. As a Child Protective Services caseworker of eight years, however, I know it to be true. I'm not alone. The above observation uttered by a loving parent with borderline intelligence is echoed by many. Consider the following irony lamented by Duke Law Professor, Doriane Lambelet Coleman (2006): "...in the name of saving children from the harm that their parents and guardians are thought to pose, states ultimately cause more harm to many children than they ever help."
Few in the field argue that Child Protective Services ("CPS") nationally has myriad problems that are well documented in the form of media, research, congressional sub-committees and expert reports. Documentation supporting this fact is ubiquitous and readily available on-line.
However, the most grievous problem is that those who can most benefit from this knowledge, those who might use it pragmatically to improve the lives of children and families - the caseworkers and supervisors of CPS - appear either ignorant of or indifferent to the damage that removal of children perpetuates. That is: the most profound problem with "Child Welfare" is that it is not about the welfare of the child.
Rather, it is about the welfare of the agency itself. The internal paranoia that a "Cover-Your-Agency" (CYA) mentality creates has become so pervasive that most caseworkers and supervisors are determined not to make any decision that might jeopardize their career... and the children are afterthoughts. The agency hierarchy itself reinforces this CYA mentality due to its understandable desire to remain off the front page of newspapers. This "defensive social work" is helpful in preventing bureaucrat heads from rolling. The tragic wake of this status quo, however, is strewn with the lives of children and parents.
Estimates I've come across in my research reckon that between one-third and two-thirds of those children currently in foster care nationally should be living with their parents. Furthermore, it has become undeniable that despite many saintly foster parents the government makes a poor parent. The research shows unequivocally that CPS should be loathe to remove kids from their homes because, in most cases, there is nowhere better to put them. As a result, the state is stuck between a rock and a hard place: remove children from marginal parents, causing well documented, irrevocable emotional damage (not to mention the physical and sexual abuse that occurs more frequently in foster care), or leave these children with parents who, arguably, should never have had kids in the first place-- the "lesser of two evils" if you will. Enter the "Safety Model."
The state of Oregon has become one of the last ten percent of our nation's states to adopt a "Safety Model" guide to protecting our children, created by Wayne Holder, the man Oregon CPS has called the "foremost expert in child protection in the nation." (I encourage anyone interested to visit his website at www.actionchildprotection.org to understand Mr. Holder's credentials and the Safety Model as a whole.)
"What do I have to do to get my kids back?!" Those of us in CPS have all heard it. It is inevitably the first question our clients have and it is echoed frequently until the kids are returned. The Safety Model forces Child Welfare to quantify their answer to this question.
In my experience, most families don't care how long CPS monitors (or micromanages) their family as long as their kids can live with them in the process. Mr. Holder would probably site this as THE driving force behind the creation of the Safety Model.
In quantifying their answer to parents' most pressing question, CPS must delineate for all parties and the court, the necessary "behaviors, conditions or circumstances" in the home required to "manage"- not eliminate- the safety threats that necessitated the removal of the children. The agency's answers must be "specific" (i.e. quantifiable). They must be "well articulated." They must be "least intrusive." They must be "well defined." They must provide a "benchmark" (i.e. they must be measurable). They represent the "official record and expectation" for parent-child reunification.
The parents themselves need not change at all prior to the children being returned to the home.
The Safety Model, in addition to its dictates that CPS be as "least intrusive" as possible in intervening to control threats to child safety, requires that these threats be "observable and specific," "out of control," "imminent" and expected to cause "severe" harm to a "vulnerable" child.
No doubt for many of you this is a hard pill to swallow. These are unreasonably low standards for our most precious resource. You, like me, think children deserve more. The fact remains, it is irresponsible at best and abusive at worst to remove and/or withhold a child from his or her home upon the speculation that a "threat" of danger exists, when we know from the research that removal and placement of children in foster care is always detrimental.
I'm not talking here about severe neglect or physical/sexual abuse. In five years with Oregon CPS (I worked for three in California previously) I have had only one case with such abuse (and the research puts this type of abuse at about 15 percent combined).
The Safety Model is merely a tool, an attempt to minimize the trauma to children inflicted by their own government. There is no tool or legislation that will ever completely expunge child maltreatment or child deaths so long as the only requirement for parenthood is a capacity for coitus. I believe that if the state institutes a model, a tool envisioned by the "foremost expert in child protection in the nation," the state should actually use it. That is, if CPS is making the rules, they should follow them. Currently CPS (at least in Coos County, Oregon) is not, or not consistently.
The sad yet necessary truth is that it is not the job of Child Protective Services to pick the best available situation for kids and place them there permanently. That would literally be kidnapping. Rather, it is the job of CPS to work with marginal parents and make them "safe" or capable of providing a "minimum standard of adequate care." It is CPS's job to make parents "safe," not "good." Again, it is also our job to be "least intrusive" in our intervention.
In America we must accept freedom's costs with its benefits. As Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said, "There is nothing new in the realization that the Fourth Amendment [illegal search and seizure] protections come with a price." This is true of many other "protections," such as the right to procreate and parent.
Unfortunately, Child Welfare is not held accountable for the unattributable damage to children caused by removal from their families and foster care. However, it is well-documented damage. Shouldn't we, like doctors, use our professional judgment to "first, do no harm," rather than using it to forecast the future? It is the children who pay the ultimate price for this unqualified prophesying.
The Safety Model provides a useful tool that, if used correctly, can save many children from the fate of CPS being their only perpetrator.

Do you want to be right or be happy? Do you want peace or drama?
These were two questions that our minister talked about one Sunday that really, really hit home with me. You can't have both at the same time – you can't have peace and drama at the same time within yourself – you can't want to be right and be happy at the same time – one of them takes ego and the other takes heart/Spirit/love.
I feel like a few weeks ago were filled with drama within myself – I wasn't allowing the peace to be in me – I wasn't allowing myself to get in that place that I know and love – in my heart. I was only allowing myself to have turmoil within my heart – and it was a bad feeling.
I was taking the simplest things to heart, thinking if someone said something it was automatically directed at me and my guard and defenses went up. Of course, I talked to Eric about it but his answers weren't what I was looking for – I wanted him to justify the fact that I "should" have my defenses up and possibly start an argument with these people. Then my next stop as always was Marci, but when she told me the same thing I knew the drama was within me – not with these other people.
I had been down, feeling hopeless and like I was drowning. Once I made the decision that I was going to ask for help – get back on Lexapro, something in me changed – even before I started the medicine. I realized even though I need a little extra help with medicine that it was still up to me to change my attitude, my thoughts because the more I thought about feeling bad, the worse I felt.
It took a lot of going inside my heart, praying for guidance and understanding with this and a lot not to get upset, not to let the negative thoughts get me down and keep me down and let go. For this I am thankful – I can tell I have grown and am continuing to grown into the person I want to be – one who forgives easily (yes, even myself), one who turns to God for strength and guidance and one who is happy – truly happy.

219 West 48th Street
New York, NY 10036
Set at the turn of the last century, A Little Night Music interweaves a tangled web of former and current lovers among the upper crust elite of Sweden. Esteemed lawyer Fredrik Egerman has recently married a young virgin, Anne, whom his son, Henrik, has also fallen madly in love. Fredrik's dedication to his blushing bride is tested when he reunites with a former flame, the famed (and fading) actress Desiree Armfeldt. Things grow more complicated when her jealous (and married) lover Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm gets wind of the reunion. The coupling and uncoupling comes to a head when Desirée convinces her mother to host Fredrik and his family for a weekend on her lavish country estate—and the Count, with wife in tow, crashes the party.
The luminous [Angela] Lansbury is a wonder. The 84-year-old actress does something extraordinary, too: her Madame Armfeldt progressively gets more frail as the evening progresses...the aging process has never been more eloquently put on display.Review by Michael Kuchwara from The Associated Press
"Bewitching, confident and utterly natural, [Catherine Zeta-Jones] breathes a refreshing earthiness and warm-blooded sensuality into the part [of Desiree]."Review by David Rooney from Variety
What is A Little Night Music Like?
Considered one of composer Stephen Sondheim's best works, A Little Night Music boasts a sweeping, score. Highly stylized (this is a musical costume drama), the production does slow down in certain scenes—which needn't be a bad thing, since audiences can take the time to listen for introspective, evocative lyrics about love and relationships that are easy to relate to. Don't let operatic waltzes or stuffy corsets scare you away, however; the tuner still showcases plenty of laughs and sex appeal.
Is A Little Night Music Good for Kids?
Considering its near-three hour run time and the fact that the show's largely about relations (coital, post-coital and otherwise), it's best to leave the little ones at home. However, only one illicit rendezvous occurs onstage (and even that one is pretty chaste) and there's nary a bad word or violent moment to be found, so if your youngster is able to pay attention to grown-up situations, they will find themselves in safe hands.

She had a calming influence over me. When I was with her I felt peaceful. I liked that feeling then, and I still do. In contrast, I can be the opposite. At times I feel out of whack, ill at ease, even agitated. My friend David goes so far as to suggest that my ping pong style is "fidgety."

"My wife and I interviewed a few firms before a Wilson's Natural came to us as a referral from one of my peers at work. Chad immediately understood our woodland garden needs and came up with a simple, natural feeling plan that allows us to use and enjoy our wooded space. We have a special affinity for the small natural stone patio and native azalea that were incorporated. We highly recommend these men for your woodland garden needs."
- Eric and Gayle H. Mooresville, NC
"Our neighbor decided to make a nice addition to their property by building a two story garage. We were happy for them but did not necessarily want to look directly at this new mass of brick. Chad came out, provided us with 3 options, priced a variety of sizes and thoroughly explained each plant's growth patterns, expected size at maturity and provided truly exceptional advice. Today, the garage is disappearing behind a large growing mixed border of evergreen plantings! Without hesitation contact Wilsons for privacy needs!"

David Noonan & Simon Trevaks – The Likening
26 September 2002
David Noonan's current exhibition at Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery features a 16mm film produced in collaboration with fellow Melbourne-based artist, Simon Trevaks. The Likening is a three minute loop of a young woman being slowly and suspensefully drawn through the interior of a luxury apartment by an invisible and possibly menacing otherworldly force. We read this unnamed and unknown presence in her countenance, in her expression of curiosity and expectation all of which is amplified by the climactic melodrama of the accompanying musical soundtrack. Noonan and Trevaks's camera leads its beautiful protagonist through a series of unfolding doorways, apertures to an other dimension. She arrives, eventually, at her destination, a metaphysically-ambiguous encounter with her double, her self.
In The Likening, Noonan and Trevaks employ again the looping technique of their previous works – such as 100mph (2000), More Apt to be Lost Than Got (2000) and 99 (1999) – to focus and intensify a minimal cinematic sequence. Much of the formal tension of The Likening is given by the parallel structures established throughout the work: the woman's face – shot in close-up – and the enclosed and claustrophobic architectural interior – whose rooms are also perfect mirror-images of each other. Indeed, the tightly-knit relationship between the face of the actor and its containing architecture is now a signature motif of Noonan and Trevaks. In The Likening, this redoubles the already present mirroring and duplication – the metaphor – of identity to which the title points.
The Likening featured in the Australian video program, Screenlife, organised by and screened at 200 Gertrude Street, Melbourne and the Reina Sofia in Madrid to coincide with the Australian program at the international contemporary art fair, ARCO, in Spain this year. (Screenlife is currently being shown at the Govett-Brewster Gallery in New Zealand.) In 1999, David Noonan was selected for the Primavera exhibition of young art at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. He was also selected for the Istanbul Biennale in 2001. David Noonan and Simon Trevaks have been producing collaborative work since 1999. The Likening will be Noonan's second solo exhibition with Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery. David Noonan also works in painting, photography and installation. His work is held by the National Gallery of Victoria and Monash University as well as numerous private collections both in Australia and overseas.
Exhibition opening: Thursday 26 September, 6 - 8pm
Exhibition dates: 26 September - 19 October, 2002
Gallery hours: Tuesday - Friday 10am - 6pm, Saturday 11am - 6pm

Why study children's nursing?
Working as part of an inter-professional team in hospitals, schools, family homes and across the community, children's nurses provide specialist healthcare and support for children, young people and their families.
It's a challenging but highly rewarding career. As a specialist nurse, you can help make a difference to the health and welfare of children, by delivering safe, effective and compassionate care.
Why UWE Bristol?
BSc(Hons) Nursing (Children's) is accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), which means you can register as a children's nurse with them when you graduate.

Taught by a close-knit, supportive team, with a depth of clinical and research experience, you'll develop strong inter-professional and interpersonal skills, and learn how to make a positive impact on the health and care needs of children.
The course has a strong practical focus, incorporating case-based learning with extensive use of our purpose-built children's nursing simulation suite.

There's also the chance to develop and apply your skills working abroad.

February LSAT scores came out Sunday. Some of you are happy with how you did, so you'll be applying to law school. Others got a low LSAT score, and have some tough choices to make.
What's A Low LSAT Score?
It's hard to say what an objectively low LSAT score is, but let's give it a shot: A low LSAT score is an LSAT score that will force you into a few hundred thousand dollars of debt and leave you with poor job prospects.
You first need to figure out what schools for which your LSAT score qualifies. Law School Predictor will give you a pretty good idea.
Then, you need to check out Law School Transparency (LST).

Mark Buchanan - Things Unseen: Living in the Light of Forever
Could it be that the heavenly minded are of the most earthly good? With pastoral warmth and philosophical skill, Buchanan illustrates how the hope of heaven offers us sustained moral and spiritual ballast for living a life of stability, fearlessness, and substance. Learn to make eternity your fixation—anchoring your hope and strengthening your heart.
Carolyn's Notes
Mark Buchanan is one of my favourite contemporary authors; he has a real gift for turning beautiful phrases around profound concepts. Things Unseen reminds me of an old Charlie Peacock song that goes "I want to live like heaven is a real place" … it asks to consider how we might live our lives if we take the promise of an eternal life with God seriously. Two of the songs on my Under the Gaze album ("Great Cloud of Witnesses" and "Only Time Will Tell") were written after reading this book.

Something that's barely mentioned (and usually not at all) in all the talk in recent months about how the Israelis ought to whack the Iranian nuclear facilities, just in case they've got a nuclear weapons program cooking, ought to be obvious in the map (via Wikipedia) above.
The Atlantic ran a number of maps showing target areas, on the heels of a New York Times article about possible strike scenarios. The Atlantic only reprints a quote that any Israeli aircraft would need to cross "more than 1,000 miles across unfriendly airspace."
The Times article mentions that the "most direct" route would need to overfly both Jordan and Iraq, stating that after the December withdrawal, the US "no longer has the obligation to defend Iraqi skies." Of course, the US has effectively controlled most of Iraqi airspace since the Gulf War more than twenty years ago and it's had total control for nearly a decade. The US would need to turn a blind eye to any Israeli overflight in a way they surely would not if, say Syrian or Iranian jets flew into Iraqi airspace. Particularly if the operations would require "at least 100 planes" for bombing and refuel tanker protection. US air defenses in Iraq would look pretty incompetent if they claimed they didn't notice something like that going on overhead.
Thirty years ago, the Israelis were able to pull off a strike on a nuclear reactor near Baghdad, overflying Saudi Arabia just south of the Jordanian border. As the map shows, though, even if they were able to get away with the same type of southern route, they'd still need to cross part of Iraq or the Persian Gulf, again fairly well-surveilled by US air patrols and radar.
To the north, of course, there's Syria and (again) Iraq or Turkey.
The real question would be, I think, would anyone try to take on Israeli planes crossing their territory? At the very least, in addition to the US ignoring their attack, Israel would need to be sure that Jordan and/or Saudi Arabia had no plans to hinder operations. Saudi Arabia doesn't exactly have any love for the Iranians but o massive overflight of Israeli planes might not be a particularly popular political move. People might start to wonder what all the jets and other military hardware the Saudis keep buying are for if not to enforce the soverignty of their soil. It seems unlikely that Syria would let Israeli planes fly unharassed, even if it was unable to completely prevent them from doing so.
Which puts things back in the US camp. All of the foaming at the mouth about how Israel is champing at the bit to launch an attack on Iranian sites comes down to whether the US is going to go along with it. There's no way the US armed services can maintain credibility that they would have no knowledge of a sizable strike through most of the possible attack corridor. Everything south of the Turkish border to the Straits of Hormuz has been watched over by US land-, air-, or sea-based radar systems for two decades. The US isn't likely to attack Israeli jets flying over Baghdad on their way to strike zones in Iran, but not telling them to back off in the same manner they would another country's planes. Failure to do so will undoubtedly lead to charges of co-ordination between the US and Israel in any attack and extend any retribution to American-related targets.
Iranians are likely to remember that the USS Vincennes managed to shoot down an Iranian airlinerthinking it was an Iranian F-14even though it was in Iranian airspace when it was supposedly acting aggressively.

Square Jiffy Pots
Just plant the entire peat moss pot when you transplant the seedling into the garden!
- Color: Brown
- Additional Characteristics: Container, Pots and Trays, Seed Starting, Seedling Protection
- Occasion: All Occasion
- Recipient: Gifts for Gardeners
- Restrictions:
*Due to state restrictions we cannot ship to the following:
Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands
- show more
The only seed-starting method many gardeners will use, Jiffy Pots revolutionized gardening and continue to be one of the most popular ways of growing from seed for transplant into the garden. The principle is simple: Jiffy Pots are constructed entirely of lightweight, sturdy Canadian sphagnum ("peat moss"), so as the roots develop, they eventually grow right through the Jiffy Pot wall and into the garden soil! It's been working like a charm for decades!
Jiffy Pots are great for annuals, perennials, and vegetables, and are especially effective for hard-to-transplant species. Because you plant the entire pot without disturbing the root system, many plants which normally suffer transplant shock make the transition without turning a leaf!
The 2¼-inch-high and -wide square pots are ideal for placement in trays. For larger square Jiffy Pots, consider the 3-inch size. Each size sold in sets of 100. For round Jiffys, click here.

Spreadsheets are a superb tool for performing quick calculations and visualizations. But they fail miserably when the goal is to track long-term trends and share those results with stakeholders — especially when multiple parties need to contribute the raw data needed to derive those results.
By allowing organizations to collect any kind of data, then automatically feed that data to key performance indicators and ad hoc reports and dashboards, a modern continuous improvement platform virtually eliminates the need for spreadsheets — and the headaches and quality issues that result from their use.
Communicate progress
Whatever model they choose to use — whether lean, six sigma, TQM, or others — continuous improvement professionals produce results. But unless those results are transparently and effectively communicated, not just to management but to the organization as a whole, their impact is diminished, if not entirely nullified.
Through the judicious use of key performance indicators, user-definable reports, and automated alerts, CI professionals can ensure their voice is heard and their work gets the attention it deserves. And by engaging the entire organization, they can generate the awareness that's so critical to creating a quality-centered culture.
Crowdsource great ideas
The best ideas an organization generates hardly ever come from board and conference rooms. Those on the front lines of operations live and breathe on a daily basis the inefficiencies that make their jobs harder. Giving them a voice to enter their suggestions generates an abundance of raw material for improvements, which can then be measured for effectiveness and often implemented within the same closed-loop system.
Celebrate wins
Nothing generates greater support for a continuous improvement program than engaging the workforce directly and then showing them, in real terms, the results of their participation. But organizations that truly want to effect cultural change go even further, by celebrating wins, no matter how small, that come out of organizational alignment. Doing that produces a virtuous feedback loop that not only keeps the entire population engaged, but even accelerates the positive effects of that engagement.

Why Shred?
For most E-waste / WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) plants, shredding is viewed favorably by customers whether just for shredding hard drives or for larger volumes of mixed scrap. Some customers may be willing to pay extra to witness the destruction of their materials and receive a certificate of destruction. For other operations, shredding is primarily for value recovery of scrap which can require multiple shredders depending on the amount and complexity of the downstream separation equipment. There is not one "correct" way to shred but there is a correct fit for your exact application and we can provide that complete solution.
Shredding Solutions
Understanding the types of shredders available and criteria for evaluating the best choice is a good practice before making such a large purchase on probably one of the most expensive machines in a recycling plant. Our team has built numerous small and large scale e-scrap / WEEE shredding plants over 18 years and can offer the ideal shredder to meet your processing goals including particle size, throughput, and uptime. Our team works with multiple manufacturers we have extensive experience with and present the best option for your exact application and conditions.
Downstream Separation
Any downstream separation systems should be engineered to fit the shredder throughput and particle size. It is important to understand the efficiency curve of each machine vs throughput and undertake trials of representative material before purchasing the equipment. A typical downstream plant includes a fines screening step, magnetic separation of ferrous metals, eddy current non-ferrous separation, further screening, and an optional metal or color sensor air-jet separator. More advanced lines include multiple optical/metal/NIR/X-ray sensor based sorter air-jets to further enhance quality of commodity streams. A fine balance point exists with shredder particle size, volume and the performance of separation. Using our deep experience building these systems, we offer an ideal combination to maximize your return on investment.
We offer both integrated complete solutions built from an operator's point of view or offer tactical services such as electrical controls or conceptual design. A complete solution covers all areas to make sure the plant has everything to run successfully such as:
- Ideal shredder
- Conveyors matched to duty and throughput
- Chutes, slides and pans to minimize spillage
- Maintenance access designed in
- Ventilation, fire, and dust explosion mitigation
- Integrated easy to use operator controls
- Separation equipment selection and layout to meet quality goals
- A system not overbuilt and well matched for cost vs. performance
- Tools to help our clients develop their vision

White Bean Stew
I didn't want to call this a Fabada Asturiana because I lacked so many of the ingredients. To start with I didn't have fava beans! To make it more authentic, add Morcilla and pork belly to the ingredients below.
Ingredients I used
1 lb white beans,
2 Spanish Chorizo links,
1 Chunk of ham (sorry for the approximation)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 big onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf,
1 teaspoon of red sweet paprika
Soak the beans overnight (cover with enough water to double the height of the beans)
Rinse the beans and place in a pot covered once again with water to double the height. Bring to a boil. Add the chorizo, ham, onions, garlic, bay leaf and olive oil. Add the paprika. I added salt at the end since the ham and chorizo are salty. Turn the heat to medium low and let it simmer for 3 to 4 hours. If the heat is too high you lose too much liquid and have to add water as needed. The beans should be tender. I left mine more watery or soup-like, but you can let it reduce further.

If you open up a cantina let me know. This looks delicious.ReplyDelete
Yum a nice bowl of of that with some bread or rice :) those Chorizo's you got look awesome :) I <3 eating beans like that (the way you prepared em)ReplyDelete
My mom is a fan of stewing beans with just garlic and onion, (just how you did here
) and sometimes when she's in a mood for a "complete meal" like you did here she likes adding any meat she has on hand, likes to add a touch of cumin or smoked paprika often times to.
About the Fabada unfortunately for me my grandma never made Fabada I haven't either (I don't have Faba beans either and well my family doesn't eat Morcilla so I'm out of luck) However I grew up around and do make plenty of "Potaje de Frijoles Blancos" or "Potaje de Alubias Blancas" I cook white beans with chunks of beef or pork, sometimes a bone (beef or pork or leftover ham bone), when tender add a sofrito w/ chorizo, and season with salt, cumin, and throw some bijol for color with chunks of calabaza and potatoes and cook for awhile longer:)
A small suggestion try to get ahold of "Pimenton de la Vera" or sweet SMOKED spanish paprika. McCormick makes a passable one I've seen at Costco, it will change your life and your Spanish cooking. It's what gives Spanish chorizo that special taste, and alot of other Spanish dishes you'll notice the difference. I discovered it 3 years ago it changed my life LOL. I loved and still love Spanish Chorizo for it's flavor and stuff and never realized it was that glorious powder that made it so amazing LOL.
Nathan, can you believe I just saw this post today! Guess I had something wrong with my settings and I wasn't receiving email notifications of comments. Anyway, thanks for always showing up. I'll look into Pimenton de la Vera online. :)ReplyDelete

The Founder
Sri P. S. VarierThe Founder of Arya Vaidya Sala, Vaidyaratnam P. S. Varier (1869 – 1944), scion of an illustrious family of Kottakkal in the Malabar region of Kerala, was an extraordinary man. He was a multi-faceted personality: a renowned Ayurvedic scholar and academician, an able practitioner, a successful entrepreneur, and a genuine philanthropist, all at the same time! Moreover, he was a man of vision with a strong will and clear plans and he had the ability to achieve his noble objectives in an organised manner.
Shri Varier studied Ayurveda under the classical Gurukula system. He also acquired proficiency in the practice of Allopathy.
In 1902, Shri Varier founded the Arya Vaidya Sala, Kottakkal, for the preparation of authentic Ayurvedic medicines. The rest is history. Today, Arya Vaidya Sala is a name synonymous with Ayurveda; an abode of hope for the suffering humanity. P. S Varier is recognised as a representative of Indian renaissance and his yeomen efforts contributed to the historical revival of Ayurveda.
In 1933, in recognition of his remarkable achievements, Shri P. S. Varier was conferred the distinguished title of 'Vaidya Ratna' by His Excellency the Viceroy and Governor-General of India. Shri Varier wrote text books for students of Ayurveda. One of them, Ashtangasariram, won a certificate of merit in 1932 from the National Association of Physicians.
Vaidyaratnam was also a man of letters and art. He set up a dramatic troupe specialised in musicals. He himself wrote several scripts for theatrical performances. The troupe was later converted by him into a Kathakali Academy, the PSV Natyasangham which is one of the leading Kathakali troupes of today.
Shri Varier had executed a Will prior to his demise in 1944, which converted his proprietary concern into a Charitable Trust of public nature, to be run by a Trust Board consisting of seven members who would be related to his family and to the Institution.
As per the provisions of its founder's Will, Arya Vaidya Sala functions as a Charitable Trust.
The major share of the earnings from its activities is exclusively spent on charitable causes, in the form of medical aid, on both OP and IP basis, to deserving patients. This includes both Ayurveda and Allopathy. Financial support is also provided for managing an Ayurveda college; for conducting research; for holding seminars and training programmes, for publishing books and periodicals; for the cultivation of herbal gardens; and for running a classical theatre academy. The remaining funds are pooled back for the development of the institution. No financial gain accrues to any individual or family.
Present Managing Trustee
P. K WarrierAryavaidyan P.K. Warrier took over as the second Managing Trustee on the demise of his brother P.M. Varier.
