"Part of the joy of 52 Ways is the ongoing discussion you feel you can have with Padel and the poem. The book marks an important milestone and continues to have resonance for poets, readers and academics alike."

"52 Ways of Looking at a Poem began as a newspaper column in 1998 and Padel's well-informed and expectation-bustingly long-running column helped set the ball rolling for the popular redefinition of poetry.
Her argument is consistently intelligent and never patronizing. The introduction is an incisive and deliciously upbeat description of modern poetry that places it firmly on your must-read list.
Crucial to the book is a feeling of equality celebrated in the choice of poets: exactly half are women.
"Part of the joy of the book is the ongoing discussion you feel you can have with Padel and the poem – even if that leads you to passionate disagreement.
"Her easy to read manner and staunch refusal to dumb down are undeniably refreshing. The book offers a key to unlocking the potential in every reader for enjoying a genre too often dismissed as elitist or difficult. It does so with verve and a keen eye for real pleasurable appreciation, and an enthusiasm that makes it hard not to feel excited about modern poetry."
Back in 1999, Ruth Padel, poet and writer, began a weekly poetry column in The Independent on Sunday. This was an experiment to introduce modern poetry to the many people who felt sidelined by it, believing it 'difficult' or 'elitist'. What began as a six-week trial ran for two and a half years, during which time Padel was deluged with letters, phone calls and e-mails from readers who declared she had completely changed their response to modern verse.
This is a selection of 52 poems and the related articles. Padel suggests ways of interpreting each poem, from a syntactical point of view and also from close analysis of the text. She provides some details of each poet's background, with reference to their other work and explains how the poem under discussion fits into the canon. Yet this outstanding book is far from just being a study guide. Padel's intention is to make the glorious diversity of modern poetry accessible to all, whatever their intellectual background. In the challenging essay that prefaces the poems she demystifies poetic style and structure in a lucid explanation of metre, rhyme and rhythm.
She revels in unveiling the hidden rhyme patterns in the poems she discusses, and her boundless enthusiasm is infectious. She never attempts to claim her personal reading of a given poem is to be taken as gospel – in fact, alternative viewpoints from her readers fill her with delight. The poems have all been published in Britain, although the poets themselves come from all over the world.
There are as many women as men represented, influential poets whose work has on occasion been dismissed as 'formless' and 'whimsical'. Ruth Padel has no truck with such criticism, and points out how women poets are often misunderstood and under-represented, simply because their poems are read and interpreted by men.
There are poems about the enormous issues of death, sex and love, families and war. But there are also poems about feeling fat on the beach, a blind man making a cup of coffee, the loneliness of listening to the shipping forecast. For those of us who missed out on the chance to read her columns, Padel's collection will become a much-loved friend, to be returned to again and again for her wisdom, her perception and her unrestrained passion for poetry. Kirkus UK
This much-loved book introduces poetry published in the UK since the Eighties. Im it, Ruth explains why poetry developed as it did (responding to East European and Northern Irish poetry, reacting against Thatcherism), what lies behind modern poetry's relations with the media, and gender issues in women's poetry today. Ruth also discusses fifty-two – a year's worth – of the poems she discussed for three years in her celebrated newspaper column in the Independent on Sunday.
What some of the poets said whose poems Ruth discusses in 52 Ways.
Jo Shapcott
Her introduction will come to be seen as the summary of the age. I haven't seen any description of where and who we are that's as clear, balanced and inspiring.
George Steiner
Ruth Padel combines two major gifts. She is a distinguished poet and a quite exceptional reader of the poetry of others: add to this a delightful skill in explanation, the instinct of a caring, clearsighted guide to how poetry works and why it matters. The result is a book which opens doors, which bids us share with its author and the poems she has chosen a wealth of insight.
" A brilliant snapshot of contemporary poetry. Padel writes with incisive intelligence, particularly in her lively and provocative introduction on gender-related power in the poetry world and why poetry has "lost its audience". – Christina Patterson, Independent
"Padel's clear and informed approach makes modern poetry completely accessible". The Times
"She chooses her poems with impeccable taste, an anthologist of the very best contemporary poetry" – Times, "Metro"
"A superb book: a unique critical anthology that provides a good overview of contemporary poetry and enough food for thought for years to come. The poems are prefaced by a 50-page essay READING OETRY TODAY, both a concise history of late 20th-century poetry and an examination of poetic form. The book closes with a GLOSSARY OF POETIC TERMS, so the reader gets four books for the price of a single volume."
– New Hope International Review
"She argues away the idea that contemporary poetry is "difficult": all it needs is a little work and the rewards are great" – Sunday Times
"The introductory passages are fascinating, the main text riveting: the mystique of poetry revealed in an intriguing, comprehensible way." – Writers News
" A great gift for any student or poetry virgin who wonders what all the poetry excitement is about." – Glasgow Herald
if you want to write about poems yourself, take a look at the website inspired by this book, where you can contribute your own readings of poems: STRIX VARIA,
From 1996-1999, Ruth wrote a column for the Books pages of the INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY, called "The Sunday Poem". In it she discussed a poem by a living poet. Eight readers a week, fopr three years, wrote to the paper to say how much they loved it.
What Independent on Sunday readers said
"Ruth Padel's columns are an example of raising up instead of dumbing down."
"You have a jewel in Ruth Padel. It is a wonderful idea to have such a detailed appreciation of a poem. Not only are the poems well chosen for variety and quality, but Ms Padel writes clearly, wisely and beautifully herself."
"It's easy to rhapsodise about poetry or just sound erudite while waltzing around the issue of what a poem is actually up to. You do something much harder. You pick on the actual mechanisms of the piece, allow a reader to look at it through your eyes and see it in a different way."
"I read the IoS because of you. I have shifted my allegiance from Scotland on Sunday. Poetry, it seems, can even today feature more significantly than politics in some people's lives. A friend cut out the column and gave it to me. I thought it absolutely fascinating."
The premise of this poem, and of course Ruth Padel spotted it, is the speaker's claim that we are in this life to suffer. It was interesting to see how my subconscious had achieved the literal effects. For instance, I did engage in a few bouts of mental wrestling over the formal "one" instead of "we", not knowing why. Now I do. Thank you, Ruth.
Her analysis moved me deeply, with gratitude for her care and accuracy
I was delighted by her exposition, astonished that there were such riches within it. I admire her for bringing that time and insight to a poem – especially one of mine!
This poem came to me very slowly. It took four years and it came largely through the ear. As a result, I could hear it at every stage without really understanding it. I am therefore immensely grateful to Ruth Padel, who seems to me to have understood what I merely felt, and to have noticed all sorts of felicities and grace-notes that must have come more by good luck than by good judgement. Her last sentence, in particular, pays the poem the sort of compliment that overwhelms me with its generosity and (I hope) truth. It describe, at any rate, what I would like to do. Thank you, Ruth!
How rare to hear one's work, and poetry itself, taken as seriously as one dreams it ever might be, and how even rarer to read anything about a poem you've written that you want to do more than glance at and throw in a drawer.
Her Sunday Poem series is continually illuminating. The close scrutiny she offers is thrilling, unnerving, and very rare. She knows the inner and outer body of poetic language like a surgeon, a torturer, or a skilled masseuse. On my own poem, she's very good on how the two parts reflect one another but also struggle within themselves.
Almost never does a critic or fellow poet comprehend what I try to do with structure and sound, but you consciously gave body to my largely unconscious processes of writing the poem. I am especially pleased with what you say about elegy liking long vowels. I have long felt that vowel lengths in English are more important than most metricists wil admit.
Thank you also for seeing that the poem's lament for the old ways was not so sentimental as to ignore their hardships and cruelties.
Her analyses demonstrate the benefits of close reading and all there is to gain from going against the modern habit of glancing and moving on.
Thank you for your in-depth and acutely perceptive appraisal. Of course I was not aware of all its dimensions, writing just "what felt and sounded right" – but you're quite right about every detail and its purpose, Thank you for revealing the poem – to me, and to others.
I very much appreciated the brilliant reading. How important this column is for teachers. They are always telling me how much they value and collect them. We're all looking forward to a book of them!
How unusual to find a piece of my own analyzed so subtly. I feel like a cat that unaccountably finds itself being stroked in the right direction, after years of hunting for scraps around the back alleys. This is not a deeply considered response, just a contented purr.
Ruth Padel's comments restored this poem to me. It rises from subject matter which runs deeply into my past in a way that is keenly felt but which previously I'd felt unable to articulate in language that was neither sentimental nor irrelevant. She confirmed the existence of the effect I'd hoped to create, took it apart for me, showed me how I had done it, and put the whole thing back together again. I was thrilled.
It made me laugh out loud when I first read her piece on my poem, to think that any of that had been in my mind when I write. I didn't realize how clever I was! It's very interesting, like psychoanalysis – Ruth does it particularly well.
Such a rare luxury to be so well read! I can't really say you're an extraordinary critic, can I, when the poem in question is my own? But it's what I can't help thinking.

As a second-year (SY) graduating in six weeks, a lot of us have been thinking lately about what's missing from our Darden experiences. Charlottesville has a lot to offer, and while I've gotten to know the area well, there are a few things missing on my Darden bucket list. With a light course load (I overloaded in Q3), there is no better time than the present. My personal bucket list includes:
- Visit wineries. We had a fun winery tour last Saturday, but there are still spots in the area I haven't hit up yet. Pippin Hill is one I'll definitely have to visit.
- Hike Old Rag. Again, I've done a few hikes already, but the Old Rag hike is supposed to be great.
- Catch up with professors. There are a number of professors I hope to stay in touch with after graduation. That I'm at Darden every day and haven't found the time to chat with some of my former Section A profs is kind of pathetic.
- Golf at a course other than Birdwood. Particularly after graduation when a lot of SYs will be sticking around town for a few weeks.
- UVA Lacrosse. Despite the recent struggles of the men's team, UVA has great tradition in lacrosse. Sitting outside in the sun and watching spring sports, whether it's baseball or lacrosse, is amazing.
- Visit Montpelier. Definitely in the cards during graduation weekend with the fam. Enrolling in the Thomas Jefferson reading seminar, I was lucky enough to get a private tour of Monticello (also, I can think of nothing worse than trying to visit Monticello during graduation weekend).
- Restaurants. I won't bore anyone with a list of restaurants I have visited versus still need to visit, but there are some great spots to dine in Charlottesville. I also definitely need to visit The Barbeque Exchange in Gordonsville
- Beach week events. There are a lot of fun ideas for social events that friends have been throwing around. Beach week (May 5-12, when the majority of the graduating class heads down to North Carolina beach houses) will be the perfect time to try out new games, theme parties, etc.

Ever felt like a pan handler. You put up a show for people in a busy street and they don't give you the time of day no matter how good your show is. Then you still feel like you have to beg for money for the show you put up. Technically though, they don't owe you anything; but a little appreciation goes a long way. I am no panhandler but that is how I felt yesterday morning regarding my business.
As it would have it, I have a best buddy who can be a foreshadower of sorts. He had some what fore seen this coming and suggested we have breakfast on Monday, yesterday morning. So despite my nonchalant feelings about the day, I was looking forward to breakfast.
Me, my buddy Eugene and 'my feelings for the day' stepped out and headed to Westlands. All the while, I was thinking about shoes. You may wonder why? The reason for this is the current rains in Nairobi. They have destroyed 98% of my shoes but that is not what was bothering me. What really ticked me off was that I did not even have the luxury to think of getting a new pair just to get me by. It hurt even more that I was working so hard yet the results of my work were so near, yet so far. All the same, we walked for a little while and ended up at Mediterraneo.
Food solves tonnes of problems, so this is the place we had chosen to kill my thoughts.
Being in a corporate building, you would expect a lot of buzzing suit types walking about. However, that was not the case. Calm, peace and serenity are what greet you once you enter the doors, or lack thereof, of The Mediterraneo. We walked past the inside bit of the restaurant, which has a lovely wine rack as its main centre piece, and headed straight for the patio; taking in the Mediterranean ambience that filled the whole room . Aside from the birds chirping, the only other person where we eventually sat was a really humble waiter called Musyoki.
Sadly, Mediterraneo 's menu does not have too many breakfast options. Eugene ordered for the both of us because I was clearly mixed up in a web; tears just dangling as I asked for my Chai. We settled for the traditional English Breakfast which consisted of two poached eggs, a spicy sausage, bacon, baked beans, two slices of toast, grilled tomatoes and a side serving of butter.
As we sipped our tea, waiting for the main dish, we whiled away in casual conversation. And while talking, I realized that I have it good in so many ways. I have life, good health, an even healthier appetite and a good support system. And most of all, I have a buddy like Eugene who always manages to make me appreciate the small things in life. Like how blue the sky was the previous day.
When our dish finally came it was worth the wait. Sitting there, talking and enjoying life for its little, hidden pleasures, was enough to get me by another day.

Bailed-out Royal Bank of Scotland is shutting three more of its city branches in its latest round of closures.
The bank, which was saved by taxpayers following the financial crisis in 2008, is to shut its Fairmilehead, Colinton and Heriot-Watt University branches later this year.
Bosses at the Capital-headquartered giant blamed the move on the growth of online and telephone banking and stressed that there were alternative ways for people in the area to continue to bank with them.
But politicians said loyal customers and taxpayers who funded the bank's multi-billion-pound rescue package deserved better.
The Fairmilehead branch will close on October 16, the Colinton branch on November 2 and the Heriot-Watt branch on the November 9.
RBS has already closed six branches in Edinburgh – South Gyle, Tollcross, Royal Infirmary, North Bridge, Balerno and Goldenacre – again due to "falling numbers of branch transactions".
The closures in Edinburgh will lead to one redundancy, with other employees re-deployed elsewhere within the group.
Pentlands MSP Gordon Macdonald said closing branches was an "unusual way" to thank the people who "bailed them out" following the banking crisis.
"The public owns 79 per cent of RBS and the UK government ultimately owns this bank so therefore it should ensure it continues to serve the very taxpayers who came to their assistance," he added.
ATMs located at Colinton and the Heriot-Watt University branch will be kept, but the Fairmilehead branch will shut entirely.
Councilllor Jason Rust, Tory member for Colinton and Fairmilehead, said older customers would suffer the most. He said: "It's clearly very disappointing that RBS is closing the banks which are used by many people, particularly the elderly.
"People don't necessarily have access to transport and this is a real blow. RBS has been an integral part of the community.
"I am also concerned about the future of the buildings themselves once they have been vacated."
He added that the latest closures, coming after the Bank of Scotland said it would shut its Fairmilehead branch, came as a "triple blow" for people living in that area.
In May, the Bank of Scotland revealed it was to close 13 branches nationwide, with Edinburgh the worst hit as the company axed Marchmont, Blackhall, Fairmilehead, St James, Holyrood, Murrayfield and Sighthill.
RBS has reached agreements with some post offices to allow customers access to banking services.
The Heriot-Watt branch has seen the number of transactions drop by 53 per cent since 2011, Fairmilehead by 15 per cent since 2011 and the Colinton branch by 17 per cent since 2011.
A spokeswoman for RBS said the decision to close the three branches had been difficult, adding: "Our customers are increasingly using alternative ways to bank with us such as online and mobile banking.
"As a result, branch transactions have declined by around 36 per cent since 2010 whilst online and mobile transactions have grown by more than 300 per cent."

Even beyond the moral objections to homosexuality and gay "marriage," there has always been an important tactical reason to oppose the gay rights agenda, and that is because of the prediction that the more entrenched the idea of "gay rights" becomes in government, the more government would come after anyone opposing the gay agenda.
The Department of Justice has now proven the point with its brochure "LGBT Inclusion at Work: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Managers," available here.
Going far beyond any mere pamphlet about how to make your office run smoothly if you have gay employees, the DOJ is peddling all-out advocacy of the gay rights agenda, with a strongly implied threat of legal force behind the rhetoric. The pamphlet is apparently being passed around in preparation for "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month."
Trending: Portland Mayor Stands By Orders to Police to Stand Down as Dangerous Antifa Rioters Attacked Citizens
The pamphlet features a long list of do's and don'ts, such as: "Do assume that LGBT employees and their allies are listening to what you're saying (whether in a meeting or around the proverbial water cooler) and will read what you're writing (whether in a casual email or in a formal document), and make sure the language you use is inclusive and respectful. DON'T assume all employees are (or a particular employee is) heterosexual."
So, does this "listening" by LGBT "allies" include reporting to der Kommisar? You can't even assume that employees are familiar with, much less respectful of, normal human behavior any more; instead, you have to mince your words for fear of offending the Gaystapo.
But there are plenty more appalling orders from the DOJ in this pamphlet: "DO use inclusive words like "partner," "significant other" or "spouse" rather than gender-specific terms like "husband" and "wife" (for example, in invitations to office parties or when asking a new employee about his/her home life)."
Gotta keep it gender-neutral to avoid offending the he/shes. Speaking of which, there's also this gem of a quote: "DO use a transgender person's chosen name and the pronoun that is consistent with the person's self-identified gender."
In other words, if Bob shows up in a dress, you are expected to address him as "Janet" and refer to him as "her."
Like gays in general, the pamphlet is a bit confused, referring to "sexual orientation," but then deeming the phrase "sexual preference" to be offensive. The pamphlet doesn't offer a ruling on "queer," as in the TV show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." "Queer" was all the fashion a few years ago in the gay community, but maybe it's out of style, like Gucci pumps.
The pamphlet's also keen on boosting tolerance through ample use of zero-tolerance policies for jokes and gossip about gays. So Catholic, fundamentalist Christian and Irish jokes, OK. Gays, no.
We're also apparently supposed to work up to something like those mandatory government-regulation displays in the workplace: "Display a symbol in your office (DOJ Pride sticker, copy of this brochure, etc.) indicating that it is a "safe space." Attend LGBT events sponsored by DOJ Pride and/or the Department, and invite (but don't require) others to join you."
How many times has skipping out on a "not required" meeting netted you a promotion? That's a not-so-subtle way of forcing workers to endorse gay pride events.
And there's advice about assignments, as well: "DON'T let your discomfort with an employee's failure to conform to gender stereotypes (how you think he or she should act or look) – e.g., feminine man, masculine woman — affect whether he or she gets a particular assignment or works with a particular client."
So set your misgivings aside and let the transgender lesbian work on the church group's ad campaign.
The pamphlet also includes quotes from alleged DOJ employees about different topics related to being gay in the workplace, including this doozy: "As a transgender woman, I want people to understand that I'm real. I want to be recognized as the gender I really am. Yes, there was awkwardness with pronouns at first for folks who knew me before the transition. But it hurts when several years later people still use the wrong pronouns. And just imagine if people were constantly debating YOUR bathroom privileges. Imagine how humiliating that would be."
I'm not sure we're working from the universally accepted definition of "real" here. You're a guy wearing a dress. People probably pick up on that because, if that's really your picture in the brochure, you look like a guy wearing a dress. But you are humiliated because people have a problem with you using the same bathroom as their daughters and wives? You might want to think about not wearing the dress to work, then.
The line that underscores the implied threat of the whole brochure, though, is this: "DON'T judge or remain silent. Silence will be interpreted as disapproval."
Join the immoral behavior cheer squad or else. Go along if you expect to get along.
The mere fact that it is the Department of Justice putting this pamphlet out makes it little more than a laundry list of reasons why gay people will sue anyone getting in the way of the gay rights agenda, regardless of First Amendment religious protections.
It's all downhill from here.

Canada would be the best place to procure pills. Even those who are living outside this country are very much interested in getting Ultram from this country. All these are just because they know about the benefits that the Canada online portals are providing them. If you picked the right site then you need not have any worries. Some of the frequently asked questions about buying Ultram online from Canada are discussed below.
Can I get Ultram medication from my friend?
You are not supposed to get the medication from your friends. Always take the pills that you have bought with your prescription. In a case of the emergency where your stock is over and urgently in need to take Ultram to control unbearable pain then you may get it from them. But, it is always a wise idea to avoid following this method.
Can you engage in physical activity while on Ultram treatment?
If the activity does not cause any strain in your body then you can go about doing it. A slow walk would be helpful to increase the flow of blood in the body. But, vigorous workouts are not recommendable. In general, complete rest is advised.
Is it possible to get any benefits if you use reorder service?
Yes, if you are refilling your Ultram stock then it means that there are chances for you to get some benefits. Usually, refilling is very much easy when it is done through a Canadian online pharmacy. They would make sure that your medical expense becomes less. Reordering of the pain relieving medication happens within a matter of seconds and you might be able to get it delivered soon.
Can I be accessible to get Ultram wherever I live in Canada?
You can buy Ultram online no matter which part of the country you are residing in. There are many mail order pharmacies that are based in Canada hence you can select the one which is nearby. The closer the site you choose, the lesser you would be paying for a shipping fee.
Will Ultram be suitable for your health condition?
Ultram is the pain relieving medication that can be taken by people who suffer from moderate to severe level of pain. This question might be answered only by a health care professional after examining the health condition. But, we can surely mention that there are many people who are benefitted by this medication to a greater extent. You can also be one among them and get maximum positive effects from the drug.
Do I suffer from any side effects while taking Ultram?
The chances of getting affected by any side effects depend on each person. Some people do get any ill effects on them whereas others have no effect on them. But, if you are taking Ultram with higher dosage strength then the possibility of occurrence of negative effects on the body is very much high.
Can you get addicted to Ultram?
Ultram is a medication that can cause addiction when used for a prolonged period of time. After few days, the body gets used to the effects that are caused by the drug. This means that the body develops tolerance towards the medication. In this situation, a person would increase the dosage strength which later leads to addiction. This is why a doctor would frame course duration.
Can I get cheap pills when bought from a Canadian online pharmacy?
Yes, you can get affordable pills if you are purchasing the Ultram medication through a Canadian mail order pharmacy. The Canadian government has strict rules that need to be followed by the drug manufacturers as well as the online pharmacies. You have to know that these rules are in favor of the citizens. They have price control on drugs and this is the major reason why you are able to get cheap pills online.
Would you get authentic Ultram pills online?
You can get quality Ultram pills from the Canadian internet based pharmacy. Since the price of the drug is very much low, people would think that they would get only spurious pills but this is not the truth. The Ultram medication that is sold by the Canadian mail order pharmacies is well-known in providing the therapeutic effect on the body.
Can I use Ultram coupons online?
People who have Ultram coupons can use it to reduce the price of the medication. You just need to produce the coupon to the Canadian mail order pharmacy and get your pills. Just check whether the selected online portals accept these coupons or not and then go about doing the business with them. Most of them would accept it so you would not face any problem at all. You can also refill Ultram pills to continue the treatment with a coupon.

President Eisenhower speaks to the press, March 25, 1959. (AP Photo)
This article originally appeared at TomDispatch.com. To stay on top of important articles like these, sign up to receive the latest updates from TomDispatch.com.
At a book festival in Los Angeles recently, some writers (myself included) were making the usual arguments about the problems with American politics in the 1950s—until one panelist shocked the audience by declaring, "God, I miss the Cold War." His grandmother, he said, had come to California from Oklahoma with a grade-school education, but found a job in an aerospace factory in L.A. during World War II, joined the union, got healthcare and retirement benefits, and prospered in the Cold War years. She ended up owning a house in the suburbs and sending her kids to UCLA.
Several older people in the audience leaped to their feet shouting, "What about McCarthyism?" "The bomb?" "Vietnam?" "Nixon?"
All good points, of course. After all, during the Cold War the U.S. did threaten to destroy the world with nuclear weapons, supported brutal dictators globally because they were anti-communist, and was responsible for the deaths of several million people in Korea and Vietnam, all in the name of defending freedom. And yet it's not hard to join that writer in feeling a certain nostalgia for the Cold War era. It couldn't be a sadder thing to admit, given what happened in those years, but—given what's happened in these years—who can doubt that the America of the 1950s and 1960s was, in some ways, simply a better place than the one we live in now? Here are eight things (from a prospectively longer list) we had then and don't have now.
1. The president didn't claim the right to kill American citizens without "the due process of law."
Last year we learned that President Obama personally approved the killing-by-drone of an American citizen living abroad without any prior judicial proceedings. That was in Yemen, but as Amy Davidson wrote at the New Yorker website, "Why couldn't it have been in Paris?" Obama assures us that the people he orders assassinated are "terrorists." It would, however, be more accurate to call them "alleged terrorists," or "alleged terrorist associates," or "people said by some other government to be terrorists, or at least terroristic."
Obama's target in Yemen was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen who was said to be a senior figure in al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. According to the book Kill or Capture by Daniel Klaidman, the president told his advisors, "I want Awlaki. Don't let up on him." Steve Coll of the New Yorker commented that this appears to be "the first instance in American history of a sitting president speaking of his intent to kill a particular U.S. citizen without that citizen having been charged formally with a crime or convicted at trial." (Awlaki's 16-year-old son, whom no one claims was connected to terrorist activities or terror plots, was also killed in a separate drone attack.)

On the latest episode of "Chasing Life," Haley Ramm's character Brenna continued to be put in a difficult position, trapped between Greer, her new friend who is there for her, and friends Kieran and Ford, who were not exactly being respectful of Brenna's friendship.
"They're not very good friends," Ramm agrees with Zap2it. "Brenna has to deal with balancing her friendship with Ford and her possible relationship or whatever it is with Greer. In the next four episodes, I can say that Brenna is going to have to make a really big decision and that decision puts a strain on her relationship with Ford. Ford is very protective of Brenna as a friend."
"Her feelings [about Greer] come about by being put on the spot by her whole friend group. Greer has always been the one to make her feel better, it's a sweet relationship.," Ramm continues. "Brenna has to make a decision right then and there who she's going to be with, it's a very intense scene."
There's another intense scene on the horizon for Brenna too — finding out about her father's other child.
"The next couple episodes I'll take a trip to dig up the past," teases Ramm.
And as for April's personal life, Ramm says that Brenna doesn't really have an opinion, but that she as an actress would have to choose Team Leo.
"I can't really pick. You want to root for Team Dominic because he's the guy who was there first. But then who the real Leo is starts to unfold and it's really great," says Ramm with a laugh. "I don't know if I can pick one, maybe Team Leo."
"Chasing Life" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

This a segmentation piece (pieces cut from one board and glued back together) of Indiana and her 92 counties. I made this as a model for an intarsia piece I wanted to do of Indiana (intarsia: pieces cut from different boards and glued together to create the piece).
The "Indiana" is about 17 inches tall and 9 inches wide. Made from one a clear piece of 1 inch Western Red Cedar. Finished with Old Masters Clear gel finish.
I like it so much that I have not got around to making the intarsia piece.

Jim that is a cool piece. You should leave it hanging on the wall as a "piece of wood art". Now if you could just figure out a way to engrave the name of each County – ahh, a wooden map.

I'm making a similar project of Wisconsin by county. I am using various native woods. I have prepped the wood and will start cutting the pieces soon.
My original idea was to have oak and maple in the south. Pine, birch and poplar in the north. I abandoned this so I can vary the colors of abutting counties.

President Asif Ali Zardari's daughter, Bukhtawar, vowed to support PM Yousuf Raza Gilani during his troublesome period. Bakhtawar has further recommended the PM, not to breach the constitution of Pakistan as he is already facing contempt charges.
"You will not desecrate the graves of our martyrs. You may lose your office. You may lose your government but you must do what is right, Mr. Prime Minister you will not violate Vienna convention, you will not violate the Constitution of Pakistan." stated Bakhtawar while tweeting her brother's quotes.
In another tweet she quoted "I have faith in you Mr. Prime Minister. You will make Shaheed Benazir Bhutto and Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto proud, they can threaten to send Yousuf Raza Gillani of Multan to prison but he is a follower of Bhutto Shaheed. We do not fear prison cells. We do not fear death cells," tweeted Bakhtawar. "Just as Shaheed Bhutto was vindicated, you too shall be vindicated."
The tweets came at the time when the SC was set to announce its verdict on the contempt case against Mr. Gilani.
Though, the Supreme Court postponed its verdict and would most likely announce it on April 26, Thursday.

Despite a life spent in the spotlight, Kate Hudson has never been afraid to bare it all — and she's not about to start now.
"The reason I trust so much is that I don't feel like I have anything to hide," the actress, 33, tells Glamour in their April issue. "If somebody betrays that trust, it could never be so bad, because I don't keep any secrets."
Noting she has had former friends lie and steal from her, Hudson remains unfazed by it all — until the damages hit too close to home.
"The only thing that gets me angry is with [people who invade the privacy of] the kids," she says. "It's the only place where I sort of go, 'Is this worth it?'"
Recently the actress has been busy with her "wonderfully nasty character" Cassandra July on Glee, but in her downtime, Hudson does her best to keep up with her boys, Ryder Russell, 9, and Bingham Hawn, 20 months.
"[Bing's] sprinting! And he's got a natural mullet, which I'm cutting soon," she shares. "It's growing only in the back, so we in the family say he takes after my Gogie — you know, Kurt [Russell] — because Kurt was a mullet guy in the 80s."
Equally smitten with the toddler is Hudson's firstborn, Ryder, who has embraced baby Bing — and all his hair-raising moments.
"Ryder is the coolest cat — an amazing big brother, so patient and tolerant," she says. "Bing pulls his hair, and Ryder just laughs. He's such a good person. I couldn't be a prouder mommy."
The mama-of-two's devotion to her children comes from her own childhood with mom, actress Goldie Hawn, who Hudson recalls always managed to effortlessly balance both her professional and personal lives.
"I always remember my mom saying that there's only one thing in life she refused to fail at: raising her children," she says. "It just shows you it's very possible to do the thing that makes you happy and still raise a wonderful family."
Following Hawn's heartfelt advice, the actress is soaking up each moment with her sons.
"I have always been fiery; I go after things. But what I learned from my mother is to step back and actually experience things that are happening," she shares.

South Detectives announced the arrest of 30-year-old Cory Harley of the 600 block of South Street on Tuesday. He is charged with aggravated assault, robbery, theft and possession of an instrument of crime.
Detectives say they brought Harley in for questioning after receiving a tip call on Sunday. Following his interview, police recovered the knife he allegedly used and the clothing he wore in a sewer near Harley's home.
The victim, 23-year-old Ashley Hackett, said she got the call informing her of the arrest on Monday night.
"It was overwhelming. I was with family and I couldn't believe it actually happened," she said.
That wound needed 100 stitches to be closed. Those stitches are now out, but the images remain fresh in her mind.
"I'm battling a struggle with patience. Healing doesn't move as fast as you want it too," Hackett said.
Hackett, and her family, thanked police on Tuesday. But police are also thanking her for taking her case to the public to get answers.
"I didn't want someone else to get hurt and I'm really glad it's over and he's not on the street anymore," Hackett said.
The robbery happened at 4:05 a.m. back on November 11th along the 700 block of South 9th Street.
Police say Harley approached Hackett from behind and struck her in the face with a knife, causing a large cut.
Harley then grabbed Hackett's purse and fled north on 9th Street, then east on Fitzwater Street.
The purse was later found in a small alley at 800 Kenilworth Street.
Investigators released surveillance video of the suspect after the attack.
Police say Harley is no stranger to them and they are now investigating if he is responsible for other similar crimes. He is in jail on $500,000 bail.
The Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police issued a $7,500 reward for information leading to an arrest in this case. In addition, the City of Philadelphia had posted a reward of $5,000 for the arrest and conviction of the suspect. There is no word on if anyone has collected the reward money.

Meridian Equity Income portfolio managers conduct analytical screens followed by in-depth, fundamental research to uncover out-of-favor companies that have depressed valuations and visible catalysts for sustainable improvement in business fundamentals.

The Fund seeks to maximize total return by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying equity securities of U.S. companies that have the potential for capital appreciation and which the Investment Adviser believes may have the capacity to raise dividends in the future. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks as well as convertible securities in domestic and foreign companies. The Fund may invest in securities of companies with any capitalization across a broad range of industries. These may include companies that are relatively small in terms of assets, revenues and earnings. The mix of the Fund's investments at any time will depend on the industries and types of securities the Investment Adviser believes hold the most potential for achieving the Fund's investment objective. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets, calculated at the time of purchase, in securities of foreign companies, including emerging market companies. The Fund may also invest its assets in debt or fixed income securities including higher yield, higher risk, lower rated or unrated corporate bonds commonly referred to as "junk bonds." These are bonds that are rated Ba or below by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or BB or below by Standard and Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") or are in default or unrated but of comparable quality as determined by the Investment Adviser. The Fund generally sells investments when the Investment Adviser concludes that the long-term growth or dividend prospects of the company have deteriorated, or the issuer's circumstances or the political or economic outlook relative to the security have changed, and better investment opportunities exist in other securities.
There are risks involved with any investment. The principal risks associated with an investment in this Fund are set forth below. Please see the section "Further Information About Principal Risks" in this Pro- spectus for a detailed discussion of these risks and other factors you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in the Fund.
General Risk — You could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund could underperform other investments.
Investment Style Risk — Although the Fund makes every effort to achieve its investment objective of long-term growth of capital along with income, it cannot guarantee that the Investment Adviser's investment strategies or securities selection method will achieve that objective.
Equity Securities Risk — Equity securities holders are entitled to the income and increase in the value of the assets and business of an issuer after debt obligations and obligations to debt securities holders are satisfied. Equity securities fluctuate in price in response to many factors including historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investors perceptions and market liquidity.
Market Risk — The value of the Fund's investments will fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general stock market and economic conditions and the value of your investment in the Fund may be more or less than your purchase price.
Income Risk — Because the payment of dividends is subject to the discretion of a company, there is a risk that the Fund may not be able to pay income.
Small Company Risk — Generally, the smaller the capitalization of a company, the greater the risk associated with an investment in the company. The stock prices of smaller and newer companies tend to fluctuate more than those of larger, more established companies and have smaller market for their shares than do large capitalization companies.
Foreign Company Risk — Investments in foreign securities may be subject to more risks than those associated with U.S. investments, including currency fluctuations, political and economic instability and differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards. Emerging market securities involve greater risk and more volatility than those of companies in more developed markets. Significant levels of foreign taxes are also a risk related to foreign investments.
High Yield Bond Risk — Debt securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly referred to as "junk bonds") involve a greater risk of default or price declines than investment grade securities. The market for high-yield, lower rated securities may be thinner and less active, causing market price volatility and limited liquidity in the secondary market. This may limit the ability of a Fund to sell these securities at their fair market values either to meet redemption requests, or in response to changes in the economy or the financial markets.
Debt Securities Risk — Debt securities are subject to credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk that the entity that issued a debt security may become unable to make payments of principal and interest when due and includes the risk of default. Interest rate risk is the risk of losses due to changes in interest rates. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities, including medium- and lower-grade securities, because there are too few buyers for them.

'Jhalak... makers wanted gossip'
Bhagyashree of Maine Pyaar Kiya fame became the first one to get voted out in the show. She says the show was more about generating gossip and creating rivalry than about dancing alone.tv Updated: Apr 16, 2009 12:53 IST
Bhagyashree of Maine Pyaar Kiya fame put on her dancing shoes for the third season of reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa but became the first one to get voted out. She says the show was more about generating gossip and creating rivalry than about dancing alone.
"For me, Jhalak... was a wonderful opportunity to learn dance. But after joining, I found out that it wasn't really just a dance reality show," Bhagyashree told IANS over phone from Mumbai. <b2>
"They wanted a strong element of gossip, rivalry, competition, flirting, etc and I couldn't get myself to be a part of all that. It's not me and it's not the way I have been brought up," she added.
Bhagyashree's presence on the show came as a surprise. The actress, who claimed to have two left feet when it came to dancing, says she accepted the offer because she was keen to "learn how to dance".
"When I was asked to participate, it was given that it is a programme where non-dancers would get to learn different types of dance forms and would then perform. But sadly, it didn't turn out to be so.
"People actually came up to me and said, 'Why don't you go ahead and just do something (gossip, backbiting) for TRPs?' For me, a reality show like Jhalak... was supposed to be like its international counterpart Dancing With The Stars- people fall and get hurt there for real, people get angry at their choreographers if they can't learn a step - but what was happening here put me off entirely," she said.
She disliked the way things were manipulated on the show. But Bhagyashree enjoyed working with her choreographer Toby Fernandes and performing on stage and says she won't mind going back to the show.
The show is going to have one of the evicted contestants to join back as the wild card entry and Bhagyashree says she would like to be the lucky one.
"I'm looking forward to the wild card entry because I had a fantastic choreographer and teacher in the form of Toby Fernandes. I have learnt dancing from him. The only thing I was upset about was they were trying to project me as someone else and I didn't like that. But I have forgiven them because I can't hold vengeance against anyone."
For now, the 40-year-old actress, who hails from Maharashtra, is excited about the release of her first ever Marathi film Zhak Marli Bayko Keli.
In the film, Bhagyashree plays a woman whose husband gets romantically involved with another woman.
On being asked about her experience of doing the film, she said: "It feels wonderful to be doing a film finally in my mother tongue. I always looked forward to working in one but somehow it didn't work - either the script wasn't right or I didn't have dates or there was some or the other issue. So all these things made it nearly impossible for me to do any Marathi film."
Bhagyashree is also doing a Bollywood film titled Red Alert - The War Within along with Suniel Shetty.
She is looking forward to doing more films in Hindi because she feels "the industry today is booming with new themes and subjects that are being treated with a fresh perspective".
"A very different kind of cinema is being experimented with in the industry. So I would surely want to be back in Bollywood with something different."

As you'll recall from the last installment of Webcam Love, your humble narrator recently came upon a webcam performer unlike any other I had "met" – her name was HoneyBunny and I found her on Private Feeds, a fairly unimpressive review subject that suddenly upon meeting her proved itself worthwhile.
Upon clicking the "Enter Group Chat" button on HoneyBunny's page, I received an error. Clicking it again, I got the same vague and unhelpful notice once more. Click, click, click. Error, error, error. I informed my new acquaintance of my troubles and headed off in search of a solution. The thought of her having to entertain the "puss" obsessed creep while I was left helpless, unable to rescue my fair maiden, filled me with despair. That despair soon turned to rage when I found the allegedly 24/7 live support system of Private Feeds was unavailable. Typical.
I hunted around for a solution to my troubles and found nothing. The site allegedly supported Mac OS X, so the fact that I was using a Macbook shouldn't be the source of my frustrations, and there were no other hints pointing towards an immediate resolution. I restarted my browser – no luck. I restarted my computer – no luck. I changed my nickname from "MrPink" to "misterpink" – no luck. Each time I entered HoneyBunny's room, where she was once again public, her most recent patron quite obviously a one-minute-man, her face seemed to light up as she asked if I had overcome my technological setback. And, I'm sorry to say, each time I had to tell her "no."
I continued chatting with her while heading offsite in my never-ending search for any possible solution, and I continued to tip her for her patience, for her good humor, and for not being like so many other camgirls I've come across in my many online adventures. She received each tip with a smile and blew me kisses and flashed me as a sign of her appreciation like the sweetheart she certainly seemed to be.
But was that really the case? Could some randomly found redheaded, curvaceous Colombian woman really be the first webcam performer this seasoned veteran of online adult entertainment (in all its various forms and fashions) has ever found himself even remotely besotted with truly be such a sweet and genuine friendly, not to mention gorgeous, woman?
The answer lies in the thrilling conclusion to (pause for dramatic effect) Webcam Love.
Stay tuned, sports fans!

The Steelrs (5-4) figure to be without Ben Roethlisberger in this one leaving Landy Jones to start. Meanwhile the Browns (2-7) turn back to Josh McCown. Of course most eyes will be on Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown who had a franchise record day last week for receiving yards.
Coverage of this game airs on CBS from Heinz Field beginning at 1:00 pm ET.
The Odds: The Steelers are 5 point favorites against the Browns. The over/under for this game is 41.5 total points.
Will it be the Browns or Steelers who gain the win in this one?

In a move that has implications for infrastructure firms such as L&T, Reliance Infrastructure, Simplex Infrastructure and Soma Enterprises, the government has clarified that construction of roads is not a taxable service, though repair, management and maintenance of roads will attract service tax.
A Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) circular has cleared the air on taxation of construction, repair, maintenance and management of roads.
The circular comes after CBEC, a body under finance ministry that administers indirect taxes, received several representations from the industry highlighting divergence in practices followed by service tax department officials. Service tax is levied at the rate of 10%.
Commercial or industrial construction services specifically excludes construction or repairs of roads from the ambit of service tax. But, management, maintenance or repair provided under a contract or an agreement in relation to properties, whether immovable or not, attracts service tax. There is no specific exemption under this service for maintenance or repair of roads.
"…these definitions lead to the conclusion that while construction of road is not a taxable service, management, maintenance or repair of roads are in the nature of taxable services, attracting service tax," the circular said.
The board has also clarified which type of activities would constitute construction and maintenance or repair.
While resurfacing, renovation, re-laying, filling of potholes and strengthening would be treated as repair and maintenance service, laying of new roads, widening of narrow roads to broader roads and changing of road surface would be treated as construction of roads.

Kuala Lumpur: Current Asian Tour number one golfer Anirban Lahiri of India will be among a star-studded cast in the $500,000 Yeangder Tournament Players Championship (TPC) next week.
Lahiri, a four-time Asian Tour winner, will headline the popular tournament alongside defending champion Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand and Chinese Taipei's Lin Wen-tang at the Linkou International Golf and Country Club from Sep 11 to 14.
Sweden's Rikard Karlberg, David Lipsky of the US, Rahil Gangjee of India, Baek Seuk-hyun of Korea, Richard T. Lee of Canada, Antonio Lascuna of the Philippines and India's Rashid Khan, who are all ranked inside the top-10 on the Order of Merit list, will also shoot for the title in what is one of the strongest ever fields at the Yeangder TPC.
Daniel Chopra of Sweden, a two-time PGA Tour winner and a one-time champion on the Asian Tour, will head to Linkou International while all eyes will also be on the in-form Chan Shih-chang of Chinese Taipei.
The tenacious Lahiri will be eager to continue his solid performances from earlier in the year where he won his fourth Asian Tour title at the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters and posted three other top-10 results.
He also helped Team Asia secure a dramatic 10-10 tie with Team Europe in the inaugural EurAsia Cup presented by DRB-HICOM in Malaysia.
His strong performances earned him the prestigious Arjuna award home which he received from the President of India last week. Despite his early-season success, Lahiri is focussed on claiming more accolades.
"There's a lot of golf left and I need to play consistently till the end of the year. It has been a great year for me but I think it's time to put the first half of the season behind me, restart and re-focus," said Lahiri.

The Atlanta Falcons special teams was perhaps the only aspect of their team that consistently played at a high level in 2013. Thus there won't be any imperative drive to try to make substantial changes this offseason.
Matt Bryant, at age 38, showed he is still kicking strong. He is entering the final year of his contract and thus the only major concern for the Falcons is thinking about his eventual replacement in 2015 and beyond. It's doubtful that the Falcons will try to replace Bryant this year since he's been so effective in clutch situations as well as whenever he's kicking inside the Georgia Dome. He's made 21 of his last 22 field goal attempts kicking at home.
But the team should at least give a long look to a young kicker in training camp just to plan ahead to 2015 when it's possible that Bryant could decide to hang it up. The Falcons tried this strategy over a decade ago when they carried Jake Arians on the practice squad in Morten Andersen's final season in 2000. Arians was eventually beat out by Jay Feely the following summer for the kicking job, but the strategy is still a relatively sound one. The Falcons need to start prepping for the future and that begins this offseason.
The Falcons don't have to do such preparation at punter as Matt Bosher is blossoming into one of the better young punters in the NFL. Bosher continues to make strides both as the team's kickoff specialist and as a punter. His big leg proved an asset several times last year when the team struggled to move the ball offensively, to help flip field position and give the Falcons' struggling defense a fighting chance. The only real issue moving forward with Bosher is when the Falcons plan to start talking contract extension. 2014 also represents the final year on his contract, and there's little doubt the team at some point in the next 12 months will lock him up for a lucrative long-term deal.
Long snapper Josh Harris improved in his second year with the team. He had some early season struggles, but started to play better as the year progressed. Hopefully in his third year with the team he can eliminate all of the issues he's had and have a clean, quiet year where he isn't noticeable, which is exactly what a long snapper should be.
The only significant issue for the Falcons on special teams is upgrading the return game. Jacquizz Rodgers handled kickoffs for most of last year until an injury sidelined him late. The Falcons plugged Jason Snelling into the role largely because they didn't have a better alternative. Perhaps they did in Robert Alford, but with him logging starting reps on defense, the Falcons weren't going to risk injury to him. Rodgers is a capable and consistent kickoff returner, but the Falcons certainly have room to get better with a much more explosive option.
The team did seemingly find an option on punt returns in Robert McClain towards the end of last year. That was after Harry Douglas and Alford failed to impress in that role. However, if McClain is expected to be the team's primary nickel cornerback in 2014, he too may become exposed to extra injury risk if asked to be the team's full-time punt returner.
Thus it makes sense for the Falcons to try and add another return threat this offseason. It would be doubtful that the team would sign a veteran free agent for the express purposes of filling those roles since Rodgers and McClain are capable, just not ideal options given their value on offense and defense. Instead, it's more plausible that the team will look to the draft or undrafted free agency to bolster the position. If the team is successful in addressing their depth at running back or wide receiver, then it's possible that player could double as a return threat. But the likelier scenario is that the team continues what it's done in recent years, which is target undrafted free agents with return experience and hope one emerges in training camp to become a serious challenger for the job.
Whether at kicker or in the return game, any serious changes or additions this offseason on special teams are likely to come in undrafted free agency. And that's the privilege the Falcons have given that relative to other areas on the roster, special team is position of a strength.

choppers appeared over the horizon flying in formation.......their new home at Joint Base Lewis-McChord........The 1st Battalion, 229th Aviation Regiment flew 10 AH-64 Apache helicopters and six UH-60 Black Hawks to Gray Army Airfield, May 11, as part of the "Flying Tigers" move from Fort Hood, Texas, to JBLM. The trip that covered approximately 2,200 miles and took three days.
Over the next couple of months the unit will complete the move from Fort Hood to JBLM bringing with them the rest of its Apaches, Black Hawks and personnel to the base
About 400 of the battalion's more than 700 soldiers are making the move, taking with them 24 Apache helicopters and 10 Black Hawks.
The battalion also will benefit from diverse training environments, he said. In addition to Lewis-McChord's existing, expansive aviation training grounds, "We're working to acquire high-altitude training areas so (we) don't have to travel to Fort Bliss in El Paso or Fort Carson (Colo.) to do all the high-mountain training required for a deployment (to Afghanistan),"
The Department of the Army announced Wednesday the stationing of the 16th Combat Aviation Brigade at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, a phased action that will see the first unit elements activated at JBLM as early as June, with the final unit activated approximately September 2014. The 16th CAB will be split based, with its headquarters moving to JBLM but leaving an element at its current station of Fort Wainwright, Alaska, to support training there. Other units now stationed elsewhere will join the CAB at JBLM.
Plagued by one scandal after another, from violent mental breakdowns to steroid abuse and allegations of killing for sport, Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state this year developed a reputation as the most troubled base in the military.

That's a huge problem that needs to get fixed.
Next time they come around, make it entertaining. Run around in your yard naked, covered in X-mas tree lights, with a tin foil hat, and throw chocolate bars (which will look like something else) up at the sky in the direction of the helicopter.
Make it a show.
Have fun.
Be creative.
Wear a cape.
And goggles.

I live about a minute away from the Los alamitos joint forces training base, and for the past couple of weeks I have been hearing nonstop helicopters, but only between like midnight and 4 am. They seem to come every couple of minutes, I can hear one as I type this. They seem to be a lot noisier than the aircraft I usually hear from the base.
I first started noticing it a couple weeks ago. One night I couldn't sleep, and around 3 am I opened my bedroom window for a smoke. I noticed a bright white light partially hidden by a tree. I didn't think anything of it, I thought it was from the construction they're doing on the 405 freeway. Than as soon as I really started to look at it, it started moving towards me like it spotted me. I quickly closed my window and laid in bed. A minute later I looked up only to see it was basically right over my house. It flew around my neighborhood all night long at a unusually low height. I saw it pass over my house numerous times.
Since then, I can hear them every single night. They're super loud, and they're starting to scare the crap out of me. I have the constant feeling that I'm being watched. Hopefully it stops soon, my insomnia has become a lot worse since they started.

My 3 month old DD started out gaining weight at an expected rate but she's slowed down significantly in the last month and I'm very concerned. Her pediatrician is not yet concerned and says we'll see how she gains between now and her four month spot (9/21). Here are all her weights to date:
5/20/17: 7 lb 9 oz
5/22/17 : 7 lb 1 oz
5/29/17: 8 lb 3 oz
6/21/17 : 9 lb 13 oz
7/21/17 : 12 lb 2.5 oz
8/8/17 : 12 lb 12.5 oz
8/22/17 : 12 lb 14 oz
She hasn't even gained a pound in the last month. Particularly concerning is her 1.5 oz gain between the last two weights. Her wet diapers have stayed the same (5-7 per day) and her poopy diapers have decreased to 2-4 per day but they are considerably larger than when she was small.
I offer to feed DD at least once every 2 hours, if not more often but she sometimes refuses (turns her face away, arches her back, and fusses). I also respond to her hunger cues. She only nurses for about 10 minutes each time but I've got a fast let down and I hear a lot of swallowing when she's nursing.
I'm worried I'm not feeding her enough, but she rarely complains. Usually, she only fusses when she's tired or when I've offered the breast and she's not interested. Is it possible that she's hungry and just not complaining about it? Why is the gain so slow despite having expected diaper output?
She also spits up A LOT. And large amounts. She seems to be a happy spitter but I'm worried that's contributing to the slow gain.

This idea was originally suggested by Flipside: http://undertowgames.com/?p=240#comment-140
After thinking for a while, I came up with an idea for implementing multiple submarines into the game that can interact with each other without breaking the physics simulation.
The ships that move around in the world can be large, single objects, and the inside of the ships can be static objects hidden in usually inaccessible parts of the map.
When the moving objects in the world bump into something, forces to the objects inside the ship can be applied accordingly. Rotating the moving objects in the world can modify the gravity inside of the ships.
Leaving a ship will teleport the player into the world, entering a ship will teleport the player to the hidden inside of the ship.
The inside of the ships can be rendered seamlessly on the position of the moving objects, so players wouldn't notice that entering the ship is actually teleporting them to another part of the map.
If the idea doesn't seem to make sense I'll try drawing something that explains it better.
Multiple ships
If you want to help with the development of Barotrauma by offering ideas, suggestions, assets or anything else, this is the right place.

Re: Multiple ships
Thanks for the idea, that sounds like a much better way to handle the submarines! The current system is kind of a hack and this would be a much more elegant solution. Now the ship can't even rotate, not to mention having multiple subs in the same map.

Well, It doesn't have that much bugs anyways, and doesn't need to be updated all the way to v1.1 like SCP: Containment Breach! xD
