Holy Mother of Supplements
Confession: I did not take my prenatal vitamin for the majority of this pregnancy. I don't take a vitamin normally, so it was easy to "forget", and they are so freaking gross. Seriously.
But good lord I'm having to make up for it now with all the stuff I'm taking!
- Liquid chlorophyll: You may recall my rants about salty wet hay when I was pregnant w/ Joseph. It's meant to help with my platelets, which are low (again). It's 3 tablespoons per day. Blech.
- Vitamin K drops: I just put them in w/ the chlorophyll at night. No biggie. Also to build platelets. Vitamin K is what they give babies at birth to help them clot better. Same deal w/ platelets.
- Dandelion extract: helps to build blood up. Also for the platelets. This stuff tastes yucky.
- 5-w herbal blend: this has a bunch of herbs that should help get my body ready to birth "on time". Since we're moving 12 days after baby's due date, I am hoping that she'll grace us with her presence in October. This stuff is just to help with it. We'll see. It's 6 pills/day
- Evening primrose oil: another supplement to help prepare my body. 1 pill a day this week - each week I take one additional until my pelvic bones start getting too painfully loose (apparently it loosens everything up!
- Prenatal: heck, I'm taking a thousand other things, it just makes sense. 1 per day
- Propolis 1000: is supposed to kill the group b strep virus. Since a group b strep diagnosis would be very difficult to get around with our home birthing plans, my midwife takes a proactive stance on making sure I *don't* have it. 6 pills per day for the next week.
My kitchen counter looks like a GNC.
I'm not sure how it's related, but since I've started taking the prenatal + chlorophyll + vit k + dandelion I've have a very clear reduction in leg cramping! Not too bad of a trade off.

I don't know that I'd really call it nesting, as I feel like that is the crazy can't-stop-myself-from-scrubbing-the-toilet-at-3am involuntary stuff, but at least I'm getting stuff done!
This weekend I:
- spent too much time shopping for baby (consignment! how green and frugal)
- did lots of baby laundry (and got depressed at the thought of how much more laundry I'm gonna have to do when baby comes)
- cleaned out a few drawers in my room for baby clothes (we'll buy baby a dresser after we move)
- took a baby-inventory of clothing and filled in the gaps
- made tons of freezer meals - lasagna, pot pie, shepherd's pie, masaman curry, chicken noodle soup, and banana bread I was planning to make chili and coq au vin a different time, too, but I'm honestly not sure that there is room in the freezer. A girl still needs ice cream!
T.J. did his part moving some more things to the garage, cleaning out a drawer in his dresser, and generally being at my beck and call.
We're pretty much set for the baby, except the car seat, which I'm planning to take care of this week! I've decided to keep Joseph rear facing and do an infant seat to start for the baby. With Joseph we loved just having him in a convertible from the start, but between Baby being born in the fall, and our 2-door car dilemma, the infant seat will be better this time.

35 weeks down, 35 DAYS to go! Well, more or less. Can you believe it? I can't.
Things are coming along nicely in terms of planning and I'm excited to meet this little one! I'm starting to make my freezer stash up, and I think we have plenty of clothes and diapers.
Does anyone know how long an ~8lb baby would be in newborn disposable diapers? I need to put her in disposables for our flight up to Pittsburgh, but I'm not sure whether to get newborn or size 1. I suppose this is something we can do last minute, but I do like to be prepared!

The Stranger was Right.
I had my home visit yesterday with Charlotte, and she measured me at 38 weeks. At 34w5d. Oh my.
She did say that the baby is a normal size - I just have a lot of fluid. Apparently I *do* look like I'm in my last month.
Baby is still looking great and is very active.

Silent Night
My first contribution to the knitting community! I'm planning to use this chart for Baby Girl's stocking.
It's the first notes to Silent Night. Fitting for a stocking, and a plea for a newborn! Ha!
The pattern is 60 stitches wide and 24 long, and fits the Cascade Christmas Stocking Pattern.

Why I Love Consignment
Or, the best $6 I've spent yet.
Or, why going "green" is so easy when it comes to baby clothes.
Here is baby girl's wedding outfit for Uncle Jake's wedding! He's getting married about 3 weeks after Baby is due. It's a newborn size dress, so I'm hoping it'll fit. I figure that dresses must be pretty forgiving, right?
I got tights, too. Do people combine diaper covers and tights, or do you pick one or the other? I have so much to learn about baby girls.
I also got 10 pairs of Trumpette socks (mostly never worn) for $3.50!

A Big Boy Bed
We went on a long vacation (more on that later) where Joseph spent the entire 10 days in various adult beds. He did pretty well with the sleeping - needing us more because they were new places than because of the beds.
When we got home, I realized that either he's gotten fatter or my belly had gotten bigger, because I could barely lift him in and out of his crib! He's never tried to climb out, and he sleeps so well, we were planning to just leave him in the crib until the baby needed it or things changed. Well, I guess things changed!
Last night T.J. took the front side off of the crib, and Joseph now has an open "toddler" bed. He had no trouble last night and stayed in bed until we came in this morning, so we'll see how the nap develops today. I *just* put him down to sleep. So far he's not very settled, but still lying down in bed. I hope he doesn't figure out that he has free reign of his room now!

Conversation with a Grocery Store Stranger
Stranger in checkout line: "You're having a boy, right?"
Me: "Nope, it's a girl"
SiL: "Really?!?"
Me: "Really"
SiL: "Are you sure?"
Me: "Yup"
SiL: "So you're in your last month, right?"
Me: "No, I have seven weeks left."
SiL: "Really?!?"
Me: "Yeah"
SiL: "That's a big baby"
Me: "Yup"
SiL: "Are you sure it's just one?"
Me: "Just one."
SiL: "Wow"
People have no clue.

33 Weeks - Celebrity Spotting
My mom got me candid today at the Como Zoo... Baby is 33 weeks and halfway to my knees!
And we got a nice picture at the Conservatory, too, right before Joseph fell into some bushes, Ha!:

Some days, it is too much
Love, that is. In the last months, I've felt this overwhelming pride, happiness, and LOVE for Joseph... to the point of feeling a little guilty about the lack of these really strong feelings in the past. I presume that it's just a natural progression in life... spend more time with someone you love, learn to love them more and more deeply? He's just so darned amazing lately. I have told people since he was a wee one that every day gets better for us (isn't it wonderful, to know that the trend is going up and up and up???) and it's still true. Sure there are "days", but oh my, does life continue to improve by leaps and bounds. It's breathtaking!
Anyway, while we're on vacation, Joseph's been needing help at bedtime. He's in strange places, "big kid" beds, is overtired and overstimulated. Last night as I lay down with him waiting for sleep to come, I had this overwhelming urge to cuddle him up like I did for so many months when he was a baby - to feel him fall asleep in my arms. I didn't, though, because I didn't want to disrupt his sleep progress.
Today on our way to Chicago, I told T.J. about it and my assumption that this is all pregnancy related - thank goodness I'll be getting a new baby to cuddle soon since my baby is growing up so quickly, I said.
Then tonight, laying in bed in the hotel room with Joseph, he turned to me, reached out for me with both arms and said "Cuddle with mama." I was so excited that I responded "Really?!? OK!" - It might have been the most earnest and humble thing that has ever come out of my mouth when speaking to Joseph. T.J. looked over to see what was going on and just smiled and chuckled.
I might still be getting a new baby, but my older one is not growing up too fast for me, yet.

Good idea.Delete
I usually aim for a low number so I am not stressed.
Thanks for stopping, Kathy.
Hi Elizabeth and Kathy,ReplyDelete
I agree with you both about setting a reading goal that is achievable, so that I don't feel pressured or stressed by half way through the year.
I seem to be stuck in a nice way, to a whole series of psychological thrillers and have discovered some great new authors along the way. I do have quite a few different genres on my TBR shelves, so I should make a conscious effort to ring the changes very soon and try something new :)
Enjoy your challenge. I hope that all is well with you and enjoy your week.
I can't do anything that is stressful. :)Delete
Sounds like you have something good going on with your thriller series.
ENJOY, and thanks for stopping, Yvonne.
I really have no idea of the top books I'm looking forward to for 2016. I only know of one right now. Harlan Coben's book to be released in March called Fool Me Once. :)ReplyDelete

I actually was never able to get into Historical Fiction.. I mean I like SOME of it - but for some reason it has to be certain kinds and written a certain way for me to enjoy it.. Which is weird, because I LOVE watching Historical Movies.. makes no sense to me lol

Menopause ends after a woman has been without her period for 12 consecutive months, states WebMD. On average, women enter menopause around age 51, but they cannot consider themselves to be done with menopause until they haven't had a menstrual cycle for 12 months.
Menopause is broken into three stages, according to WebMD. The first stage is known as perimenopause. During this stage, a woman's menstrual cycle may become irregular. The second stage is known as menopause, and it starts as soon as a woman stops having periods. After her periods have stopped for 12 months straight, she enters the third stage, which is known as postmenopause. This third stage lasts for the rest of her life.

Chinese food isn't something I make often but Gabe had a craving for Moo Goo Gai Pan.
Found the recipe on Pickled Plum .
1 tbsp canola oil
½ pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin bite size piece
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1½ cup button mushrooms, sliced in half
1½ cup snow peas
½ cup canned bamboo shoots
¼ cup canned water chestnuts
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
ground white pepper
For the marinade:
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp cornstarch
For the sauce:
½ cup chicken stock
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
½ tsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
Add ingredients for the marinade in a medium size bowl.Add chicken, mix well and let sit for 10 minutes.
In a pan over medium high heat, heat oil. Remove chicken from marinade and add to the pan. Cook the chicken till it is cooked through. Transfer chicken on a plate and set aside.
In the same pan that you cooked the chicken, add garlic, mushrooms and snow peas. Cook on medium high heat for 5 minutes.
Add bamboo shoots, chestnuts and chicken and cook for 2 minutes.
Add ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and stir. Combine sauce to the vegetable mixture. Add cornstarch and water in a small dish and mix until well combined. Slowly add to the pan until sauce thickens.
Turn the heat off, season to taste with ground white pepper and serve immediately.

Next Level Gaming has posted the following:
- L.A. Rush Review (PS2, Xbox - 70/100)
"For all the things I enjoy about L.A. Rush, it's just not Rush to me. Midway and Pitbull Syndicate missed a golden opportunity to really give Burnout Revenge a run for it's money, knowing what I know about the series. But instead, this game goes after Midnight Club. And it does it without online gameplay, which I can't figure out at all."
- Blitz: The League Preview (Xbox)
"The gameplay is still the over-the-top action that you expect from Blitz. All of the hard-hitting and bone-crunching tackles are back. In addition to all of the action on the field, there is plenty of action off of the field."

SUNRISE -- After giving Police Chief John Soldenwagner a unanimous vote of confidence Thursday night, the City Council voted to begin impeachment proceedings against Mayor Larry Hoffman.
``It`s never been done in the history of the state -- a council impeaching a sitting mayor,`` council member Roger Wisher said.
Council members also agreed to to ask Gov. Bob Martinez to suspend the mayor from office.
``It has become absolutely, one-hundred percent clear that Mayor Lawrence Hoffman is a detriment to this city,`` council President Steven Effman said.
``The city can no longer wait for Larry Hoffman to wake up. I think it`s clear that the residents want the mayor to move on.``
Council member Steven Feren added, ``I saw the handwriting on the wall weeks and weeks ago. I really believe that we would be acting in dereliction of our duties if we didn`t put an end to this as soon as possible.``
Hoffman, who did not attend Thursday`s meeting, could not be located for comment.
Impeachment proceedings, under a procedure outlined in the city charter, would be based on 16 accusations against Hoffman, including misappropriation of public property, releasing confidential police information to suspects and filing bogus charges against Soldenwagner when he relieved the chief from duty in November, Feren said.
The council has the authority to strip the mayor of his title because he has violated several provisions of the state ethics code, Feren said.
The council ordered attorney Jim Brady to draw a resolution to begin the impeachment proceedings, which may be voted on at next Tuesday`s meeting. If the resolution is passed, the mayor will be notified of the charges against him and a date will be set for a hearing before the council.

"It is not good that the man should be alone" versus the words of Paul
"It is not good that the man should be alone" versus the words of Paul
There are young people that ask themselves whether they should marry or not. Is it not more correct and better not to marry, and to serve the Lord without concerns?
When we look at the words of the Apostle Paul, which are the words of the Living God, we find there the counsel that it is better to remain single and not to marry, in order to serve the Lord without distraction - 1 Corinthians 7:35. He who has a desire in his heart to serve God feels that God is calling him to remain single when he reads these verses.
I am not trying to convince you that it is not so, but I want you to think about a few points, and to examine yourself to see whether truly God is calling you to remain single.
Paul also wrote other verses, for example:
"Let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband." 1 Corinthians 7:2
"It is better to marry than to burn." 1 Corinthians 7:9
"I will therefore that the younger women marry" 1 Timothy 5:14
All the disciples of Jesus were married. Did they not serve the Lord? Indeed even Philip who was an evangelist was married (it is written that he had daughters – Acts 21:8-9)
Paul gives you a test by which you can know whether you are capable of remaining alone in order to serve the Lord:
"But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn." 1 Corinthians 7:9
Reality check:
You need to remember that you are not better or stronger than others are. Oftentimes young believers look at those older than themselves and think that they are better or stronger, but when they get older they find out that they are flesh and blood with weaknesses. I will ask you to look at those very individuals that you know, who are serving God in an active way, and ask yourself: how many of them are married, and how many are single? Moreover, if you look at the ones that remained single for many years, you will find that the loneliness did not affect most of them in a positive way, and you will see that truly "It is not good that the man should be alone" Genesis 2:18.
Reality and the Scriptures show us that most of the believers did not remain single, and many of those that remained alone did not necessarily serve God more than others that were married. I believe that there are only a few believers to whom God did indeed give this gift to remain single in order to be able to serve Him without any hindrance. The important question is: "Are you one of those few?" Before saying yes, examine yourself in the light of the points that I raised. If you find that you did not receive the gift to remain alone, it does not mean that you won't be able to serve God. Married individuals serve God in a different way, which is also of no less importance.
The danger is when a young believer thinks that he or she is supposed to remain single, when in fact God is not calling them to this. What is the danger in this? The danger is that one day that same believer will find out that this is in fact not what God had planned for them. And they will want to get married. But what? Now they are no longer young, the person that they perhaps would have been willing to marry is now married to another, and only singles that they don't like all that much are still available, and they are then likely to marry an unbeliever. And what is the result? Instead of serving the Lord with all your time, you waste the rest of your life in a marriage that God did not want for you, and you are chained down when it comes to service for God.
Thus it is very important while you are still young, to discern what is indeed your gift, out of an understanding that very few are the believers which indeed have this gift to remain single.

Top Chef Chicago Watch: Episode #10
I find it funny that this week's episode completely stereotyped police officers with obesity. They flat out assumed that cops only eat greasy, terrible-for-you food and while I'm not denying that that could be the case, why was it attributed only to police officers? I missed the connection somewhere I guess.
But in all fairness, I admire Top Chef's efforts to battle the problems of obesity and preach healthy cooking through many of the show's challenges.
Props Top Chef for ordering two giant trays worth of every greasy food imagineable. Seeing all the bad for you foods in one place makes you feel that much worse for eating any of them ever.
Title: Serve and Protect
Challenges: Quickfire - Put the sexy back in salads. Create a salad in 45 minutes. Elimination – Create a healthy box lunch using one ingredient from each food group for the Chicago Police Academy.
Winner: Dale Eliminated: Andrew
Chefs Remaining: Richard, Stephanie, Antonia, Spike, Lisa, and Dale.
Tune in for Episode 11 next week!

Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C., makes no attempt to hide its racial discrimination. Although the fundamentalist Christian school accepts blacks and other minorities, it strictly forbids interracial dating.
Anyone married to a person of a different race need not apply to Bob Jones, and a student found dating interracially will be expelled, university rules state. The policy is based on the belief that ''It's in Scripture that the Lord has established racial barriers,'' explains university spokesman Bob Harrison.
The school does not record the numbers of blacks or other minorities among its 6,300 students, who come from all 50 states and 35 foreign countries.
No one has ever been kicked out because of the rules, maintains Mr. Harrison, because ''they understand the policy when they come.'' But the rules have run afoul of the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which cut off Bob Jones University from tax exempt status.
The dispute, which will be argued before the US Supreme Court next January, is just one of a growing number of lawsuits over the exercise of religion. Inspired by resurging fundamentalist religions, as well as by unpopular cult groups, the cases will almost certainly make important new law regarding religious freedom.
For more than a decade, courts have concentrated on keeping religion out of government. The Supreme Court ruled prayers out of public schools and drew careful limits on public aid to parochial schools.
The new cases aim at keeping government out of religion.
In Bob Jones University v. United States, the school asserts that the government is treading on a religious tenet to enforce a public policy (racial equality). It is a clear clash between the right of religious exercise, as guaranteed by the First Amendment to the US Constitution, and the power of the government to pursue its objectives.
''The government is moving ever more intensively at the federal and state levels to regulate in First Amendment areas, especially in the area of religion, '' says William B. Ball, a Harrisburg, Pa., lawyer who is one of the leading litigators in religious liberty issues. He argued the bellwether case Wisconsin v. Yoder, in which the Supreme Court exempted Amish children from compulsory school attendance beyond the eighth grade so that they could conform to their religious traditions. That ruling has led the way for many of the cases now coming into the courts.
The Bob Jones suit is ''critically important because the government thesis is that to enjoy tax exemption, a religion must conform to whatever may be said to be public policy,'' says Mr. Ball.
''We are very clear that it is not subterfuge,'' he says of the university racial policy. ''This is a sincere and established religious belief.''
Like most fundamentalist schools, Bob Jones takes no federal grants, and losing tax exempt status could be a serious blow. University President Bob Jones III, grandson of the Baptist minister who founded the university, predicts that the school would have to pay millions of dollars in back taxes if it loses. Perhaps equally damaging, donors could not take tax deductions for their gifts.
Linked with the Bob Jones case is a similar dispute between Goldsboro Christian Schools Inc. of North Carolina and the IRS. ''Based on its perception of God's will, the school has maintained a racially discriminatory admissions policy since its founding,'' states a document filed in the Supreme Court. The IRS has ruled that the whites-only rule bars the school from tax exemption.
The US Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has backed the IRS in both cases.
Lawyers for the US government maintain that the IRS acted well within the mandate of Congress in enforcing antidiscrimination rules. Moreover, they point to widespread resistance from church-related schools, including 29 private academies in Mississippi. Of those, 12 are defending their racial policies on First Amendment grounds.
With the current national growth of Christian schools, the high court's ruling in these two cases will be felt widely. However, for several religious groups, the issues go even further than schools.
The Mormon Church, the Mennonite Church, the Amish, and the Center for Law and Religious Freedom, among others, have urged the Supreme Court justices to rule against the IRS. The groups foresee Uncle Sam stepping into churches and demanding that they conform to a laundry list of federal policies, especially in the area of sex discrimination.
''Discrimination against women on the basis of sincere religious belief exists in many churches in the National Association of Evangelicals' constituency,'' says a brief filed by that association.
According to constitutional law professor A. E. Dick Howard of the University of Virginia, the Supreme Court will be moving into ''largely unchartered territory'' as it takes up cases on free exercise of religion. Leo Pfeffer, professor at Long Island University, predicts that religious expression will occupy center stage in constitutional law in coming years.
Judges in lower courts now are confronting an Arkansas law ordering schools to give equal time to Biblical ''creationism'' when they teach evolution. In New York, a federal court of appeals is considering whether the Unification Church of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon can have tax exemption for its printing facility.
The Supreme Court this term will be ruling on a bumper crop of religious cases. They include:
* A dispute over a University of Missouri rule forbidding all religious groups from holding worship services on campus. The school, citing the need to keep church and state separate, allows the study of religion but bans its actual practice on school grounds. A nondenominational Christian group is challenging that ban in the case and is awaiting a decision.
* An Amish carpenter's challenge of a federal requirement that he pay social security taxes for his employees, who are also Amish. In USA v. Edwin D. Lee, which was argued earlier this month, Mr. Lee holds that providing for the elderly is a central requirement of his church. Paying into a government program conflicts with that responsibility, according to his attorney, who notes that the Amish do not collect social security benefits.
* The Unification Church is fighting a Minnesota law that requires it to register with the state before soliciting in public and to file financial records with the state. The law, which exempts most churches from such requirements, is aimed at groups such as the ''Moonies,'' who receive most of their contributions from outsiders.
* In Grace Bretheren Church v. California, the court is asked to decide whether an independently incorporated religious school can enjoy the same tax exemptions as a church. The justices last term exempted church-owned schools from paying unemployment insurance taxes for employees.

In Chapter 21, Erlendur is in the Barónsstigur morgue with a pathologist. The pathologist gives Erlenur an in-depth description of how Holberg died. The pathologist says that Holberg received a serious blow to the head and he believes the attacker was right-handed. The pathologist also notes that a small benign tumor was found on Holberg's brain and he has café au lait stains in various places on his skin.
Since Audur was described as having similar symptoms, Erlendur presses the pathologist for more information to determine if he was the one from whom Audur inherited her genetic disease. After the pathologist tells Erlendur the story of how a man named Thomas Harvey took Einstein's brain after the autopsy for his own personal collection, he informs Erlendur that Audur's brain is not where it should be.

Our Story
It all started with a dream to create a really great cup of coffee personalized for you.
The Beginning of Philz
Phil Jaber went on a quest 25 years ago to make a really great cup of coffee. He wanted to create a blend that was flavorful, complex, rich, smooth, and low in acidity. His quest took him all over the world and after visiting thousands of coffee shops, Phil created over 30 unique blends. Phil wanted to make sure the coffee making process embodied a personal and social feel, so he designed his own coffee station allowing for every cup to be crafted one cup at a time. By personalizing each cup, Phil had found a way to allow for individuality in every cup of love.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Chile police say they arrested 264 people and that 42 officers were wounded during a night of violence on the anniversary of Chile's 1973 coup.
Police say six officers were seriously injured when hooded vandals hurled acid at them.
President Sebastian Pinera visited the injured officers Thursday and asked the public to help identify the attackers.
Gen. Rodolfo Pacheco was taken by helicopter to a hospital after being struck in the head by an unlit gasoline bomb. Three public buses also were set on fire to make barricades in the streets of the Chilean capital.
The protests marked the 40th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 1973, coup that began Gen. Augusto Pinochet's brutal dictatorship. The government estimates 3,095 were killed during Pinochet's rule, including about 1,200 who were forcibly disappeared.

FIFA lifts Cameroon suspension from world soccer
ZURICH (AP) — FIFA has lifted Cameroon's suspension from international soccer, allowing the African country to play a key World Cup qualifier against Libya.
FIFA imposed the ban July 4, citing government interference at the Cameroon Football Association following disputed elections last month.
FIFA says it lifted the sanction after an emergency management committee was "able to take up its duties" Monday at the federation's offices. A resolution was expected after FIFA President Sepp Blatter hosted a Cameroon delegation last week.
Cameroon is home against Libya on Sept. 6. Cameroon leads the group by one point, with the winner advancing to a final playoff round.
The sanction still forced the postponement of Saturday's African Champions League group match between the club teams Coton Sport of Cameroon and Sewe Sport of Ivory Coast.

But the power of the President to intervene around the world with the US military has rested in part on the political immaturity of the public. No one disputes the power of the President to respond to emergency situations without seeking prior approval. But Presidents have also known that once the troops are committed, the opposition can be cowed into silence with the demand to "support the troops." In practical terms, the freedom of action of the President to use the world's strongest military for an interventionist imperial policy has been dependent on the public susceptibility to emotional manipulation.
That era is coming to an end.
The Bush administration is delegitimizing all of the mechanisms by which the government would get consent for imperial interventions around the world. It used to be that people would say things like, "Well, they have access to secret information that we don't have, so we should assume that they know what they are doing." Now, people are beginning to understand that it is entirely possible that there is no such secret information, and that "intelligence gets fixed to match the policy."
When this long tragic saga is over, we will see that Bush's Presidency, through its overreach, helped bring the Imperial Presidency and the era of US hegemony as the world's only hyper-power to an end.

The talks followed a visit by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Abu Musa, a Persian Gulf island controlled by Iran, but also claimed by the UAE.
Iranian state media said Mr. Ahmadinejad traveled to the disputed territory last week to deal with domestic issues.
Abu Musa is one of three islands claimed by both Iran and the UAE that lie near the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic channel through which roughly one-fifth of the world's oil supplies are shipped.
Iran threatened to close the strait earlier this year in response to sanctions targeting its nuclear program. Analysts said if Iran were to carry out the threat, it would likely use troops stationed on Abu Musa.
Ahead of Tuesday's meeting, UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan called on Tehran to end its "occupation" of the islands, saying it is not likely the consequences could "be contained by either the UAE or Iran" if the discord carried on much longer.
However, Iranian officials said their rule of the land is "not negotiable."
Abdulkhaleq Abdulla, professor of political science at the UAE University, expects Mr. Ahmadinejad's stopover in Abu Musa to become a turning point in the confrontation.
"I think the UAE now is going to change course. It used to follow a more diplomatic, a more quiet, more peaceful approach," Abdulla said. "From now on, I think all options are open for the UAE."
Iran has had control of the three islands since 1971, but recently agreed to negotiations with the UAE to resolve the dispute.
Sheikh Abdullah says the Iranian president's recent actions undermined the agreement and deepened the mistrust between Iran and its neighbors.
Sunni Arab states in the Gulf have become increasingly weary of Shi'ite Iran and accuse the country of fomenting unrest in Bahrain to extend its influence in the region.
Tehran denies the accusations, but has been highly critical of Bahrain's crackdown on Shi'ite protesters, and even built a replica of the Pearl Roundabout monument on Abu Musa. Destroyed by the government, the original monument has become a symbol of Bahrain's opposition movement.
In light of the escalating tensions between Iran and its Arab neighbors, David Roberts - deputy director of the Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies in Qatar - suggests other regional issues will quickly overshadow the UAE's territorial dispute with Iran.
"It's in this argumentative accusatory context that we are talking about this and therefore, given that tensions are still quite high, I don't see how there is enough space for a reasoned, measured discussion to take place," Roberts said.
Abdulla also doubts a resolution is on the horizon. "I expect the days to come are going to be a very difficult time for the UAE-Iran relationship and the UAE-GCC relationship and 2012 is not going to be an easy year for either of us here, he said.
The UAE has urged Tehran to take the island dispute to the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

LOS ANGELES - Lindsay Lohan will appear as a guest star on the TV musical comedy series Glee, her spokesman said on Tuesday - the latest step in a comeback for the actress.
LOS ANGELES � Lindsay Lohan will appear as a guest star on the TV musical comedy series Glee, her spokesman said on Tuesday � the latest step in a comeback for the actress.
Lohan�s spokesman declined to give details of the episode, but entertainment website TVLine.com said the Mean Girls actress will play herself and serve as a celebrity judge when the McKinley High School glee club performs at a key competition toward the end of the season.
The Glee guest stint marks a turnaround for Lohan, who was the butt of a joke on the show in 2010 when Gwyneth Paltrow, playing teacher Holly Holliday, quipped about Lohan�s stints in rehab.
Lohan, 25, has been in and out of court, rehab and jail since an arrest in 2007 for drunken driving and cocaine possession, but her probation could be lifted this week.
In her comeback bid, Lohan hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live in February and is set to play screen legend Elizabeth Taylor in a TV movie.
It was also reported on Tuesday that actress Whoopi Goldberg will appear on Glee when it returns to Fox in April. The Sister Act star will play a professor who auditions Rachel (Lea Michele) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) for a place at a performing-arts college, TVLine.com said.
Glee will return on April?10; the season three finale is set for May 22.

EEG Electrodes and Galvanic Voltages
The combination of electrode material, paste, and substances on the skin surface turn every EEG electrode into a little battery that generates a direct voltage of up to several hundred millivolts.
This is one reason for the fact that EEG amplifiers are always AC-amplifiers - the direct current of these batteries is not amplified (note: nowadays many EEG amplifiers are indeed DC-coupled; the DC component of the signal is then removed by the software).
But why are we interested in the direct voltage anyway?
Direct Voltage - So What?
These direct voltages amount to several hundred millivolts and are therefore up to a factor of ten thousand higher than a typical EEG signal.
If the direct voltage were nice and stable, we would indeed not care about it. In addition to that, we expect all electrode contacts to produce the same direct voltages, so that our differential amplifier would not notice them.
Noisy Signals...
Unfortunately, the real world works differently. Not only do the direct voltages vary between each other, they also vary with time. A typical distribution is shown here. It is not unusual for the differential voltage between two electrodes to be several hundred millivolts shortly after the electrodes have been applied. This voltage typically changes considerably within ten to twenty minutes - also in the range of several hundred millivolts. This change is picked up by an AC-amplifier if it is quick compared to the low cut-off frequency. Example: The EEG NeuroAmp has an effective low cut-off frequency of 0.08Hz (first-order filter). Events with a time constant of over one minute are therefore still significantly amplified.
But that´s not all. The distribution of the galvanic voltages toward a more stable equilibrium is by no means smooth - it is in fact more comparable to a steep and uneven path. These "bumps" significantly influence the EEG recording in a negative way. An irregularity, such as a noise level of only one percent on top of a "direct" voltage of 100 mV, amounts to one millivolt, which is still at least one order of magnitude above the amplitude of a typical EEG signal.
What now?
There are two ways of dealing with these facts:
1. We don´t care about the processes ocurring at very low frequencies. The EEG amplifier or the software simply eliminate the low-frequency noise by means of a high-pass filter.
2. We use electrodes with very low galvanic voltages that produce only very little voltage noise.
If we work at frequencies below one Hertz, we need to go for solution 2. We have thoroughly investigated different electrode materials and electrode-paste combinations and have come to the conclusion that sintered silver/silver chloride electrodes are the best. The active part of these electrodes consists completely of silver/silver chloride, not just the surface. Therefore, abrasion of the surface, as always happens during normal use, does not result in deterioration of electrical properties of the electrodes. But there are also drawbacks: These electrodes are fairly costly and the electrode material is mechanically and electrically sensitive. The active material has to be enclosed in a plastic housing and may not come into contact with metal ions or even tap water.
But, in addition to the advantage of the extremely high signal quality, even at low frequencies, these electrodes have the advantage of having a very long lifetime if handled correctly.
We can offer you the following electrodes:
- Set of three or five electrodes by Gereonics (USA)
- Mushroom electrodes for the SuSaCap and earclips by GVB (Germany)
- Single electrodes and earclips by GVB (Germany)

` You've got to see this! No sooner have my end-of-quarter highjinks begun, but I've found something else to post ASAP! Fight choreographer and super sweetie Lou Ryan is in this trailer, mostly beating the crap out of The Rat. (He's the one who says; "Do not make me kill you!")
` In fact, though Nympho shows for about a split second as Goth Chick #4 (wearing a gas mask), I'm actually clearly visible for a couple different split-seconds as the third goth gunner chick. Whoo!
` Well? Whaddaya think? Pretty good for a film student? (Also, this is much better video evidence of Lou's existence than last time!) I can't wait to watch this movie now!! See, this is what having adventures and dying horribly in gunfights are all about!

Nitish trust vote win shows gaps in BJP
On a day when Nitish Kumar won the trust vote, the BJP struggled to keep its members together after some of the senior party leaders expressed their resentment over Nand Kishore Yadav's nomination as leader of the Opposition in the state assembly. Subhash Pathak reports.patna Updated: Jun 20, 2013 01:22 IST
On a day when Nitish Kumar won the trust vote, the BJP struggled to keep its members together after some of the senior party leaders expressed their resentment over Nand Kishore Yadav's nomination as leader of the Opposition in the state assembly.
Senior party leaders--Prem Kumar, Chandra Mohan Rai, Vikram Kunwar, Amarendra Pratap and Giriraj Singh-- boycotted the crucial legislature party meeting convened on Wednesday morning to discuss floor strategy for the confidence motion brought by the chief minister.
They also resolved to take up the issue with the national high command.
Talking to Hindustan Times, Prem Kumar, former minister in the Nitish government, alleged that the party chose to ignore the democratic norms in electing the leader of the legislature party.
"The decision was taken without consulting the legislators-which is a basic norm for such a selection" he said.
"Seniority has also been ignored in the selection procedure. I have been elected legislator six times in a row, whereas Yadav has been elected only five times. I have a better political record," Kumar said, adding that Yadav's act of keeping open his business establishments in Patna during the recent Bihar Bandh, had brought embarrassment to the party.
Supporting the cause raked up by Prem Kumar, another senior legislator wondered as to why the state BJP chose to ignore a senior candidate belonging to extremely backward caste (EBC), when the party was trying to play the same card to improve its score in the next Lok Sabha polls.
"The same card could help the party to challenge the might of JD-U in its own bastion," he added.
State BJP chief Mangal Pandey and Nand Kishore Yadav sought to playdown the brewing discontent within the party, saying, the decision of appointing the legislature party leader was taken by the national parliamentary board. Pandey claimed there was no dispute over the election procedure.
On being asked whether the BJP had walked out of the trust vote to cover the dissidence, Yadav said, the decision to put the party's viewpoint and walkout later was taken at the legislature party meet before the assembly session.

|AMORCYTE MYOCARDIAL REPAIR STUDY- A Phase I Trial of Intra-coronary Infusion of Bone Marrow Derived Autologous CD34+ Selected Cells in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction. (AMRS)
|Brief Summary
Following a Heart attack the acute loss of heart muscle cells results in a cascade of events causing an immediate decrease in cardiac function that has the potential to persist long term. Despite revascularization of the infarct related artery circulation and appropriate medical management to minimize the stresses on the heart walls, a significant percentage of patients experience permanent cardiac dysfunction and consequently remain at an increased life-time risk of experiencing adverse cardiac events, including death.
There is a great potential for stem cell therapy, using a variety of cell precursors (particularly hematopoietic,)to contribute to new blood vessel formation (and possibly limited heart muscle formation) and muscle preservation in the myocardial infarct zone. The administration of cells via an infusion through the infarct related artery appears to be feasible and result in a clinical effect in some studies.
Therefore, we propose to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a CD34+ selected stem cell product (AMR-001), administered through the infarct related coronary artery 6 to 9 days after successful infarct related artery stent placement.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the feasibility and safety of prospectively identifying patients at risk for clinically significant cardiac dysfunction following a myocardial infarction and the ability to isolate and infuse via the affected coronary circulation an autologous bone marrow derived CD34+ cell product at four dose levels.
The secondary objective of the study is to assess the effect on cardiac function and infarct region perfusion. A concurrent patient group meeting eligibility but not receiving CD34+ cells will be evaluated similar to the treated group to assess the rate of significant spontaneous improvement in cardiac function without CD34+cell infusion.

text: On August 18, the OCC, the FDIC, and the Federal Reserve announced the availability of a 2015 data fact sheet on small business, small farm, and community development lending as reported by certain commercial banks and savings associations pursuant to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Less comprehensive than the data reported pursuant to the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the CRA data includes the number and dollar amount of community development loans and small business and small farm loans originated or purchased. It also indicates whether a small business or farm loan is extended to a borrower with yearly revenues of $1 million or less and combines those loans into three categories based on size, which are reported at a census tract level. CRA data does not cover loan applications that were denied or applicant demographic information, and it is not completed on a loan-by-loan basis. According to the data fact sheet, "caution should be used in drawing conclusions from analyses using only CRA data, as differences in loan volume across areas may reflect differences in local demand for credit."

So I originally had an older GPU (forgot the model, but it was NVIDIA) everything worked fine. After installing it, my PC starts most of the time, however, sometimes it will just sit there with a blinking underscore. I have a Samsung 250GB SSD, as well as a HDD.
I keep wondering if it may be because of my PowerSupply (its a ThermalTake Tr2 500w). What information should I supply?
The overall problem: when I boot my PC it sits at the Asus (press f8 to enter bios..etc) however, before I installed my new GPU and new Memory it was never giving me these problems. I've had so many weird problems since this installation. At first, the computer would power on, then power off and then back on again before it loaded windows, now that doesn't happen and now my PC just sits at the BIOS for a long time before loading into windows. Othertimes (only happened about 3 times now) it will load up to windows and show a blinking _ underscore and it will do nothing but sit there with that underscore.
Anyone know anything about this? Am I posting in the right section?

'Rubber Band Bracelets'!
A common complaint I hear from grieving moms is the difficulty in going about their daily lives and seeing pregnant woman or families with babies. What is hard to remember is that often we are also seeing moms who have had babies die. What if there was a symbol so that we could recognize each other and not feel so alone? The feedback I have had is that dads are wearing these as well. They are very similar to the yellow 'lance armstrong' bracelets, but with different wording.
ORIGINAL bracelets are White, and debossed with the words "Remembering Our Babies". They also have a small baby feet symbol. These are an adult size. They are 8.5 inches measured around the bracelet. Prices include US or Canadian shipping
One white debossed bracelet (adult size). $5
Ten pack of white debossed bracelets (adult size). $35
PINK/BLUE SWIRL bracelets are SMALLER youth size for women with small wrists or for siblings. These say REMEMBERING and have the baby feet logo. They are 7.5 inches measured around the bracelet. Prices include US or Canada shipping.
One pink/blue swirled debossed bracelet (youth size). $5
Ten pack of pink/blue swirled debossed bracelets (youth size). $35
Perfect for support groups, mementos for memory walks, or to use in fundraising. Bulk pricing is available, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I try to keep a quantity in stock but may need to reorder depending on demand. Pricing is as follows: 100-299 bracelets are $2 each. 300-499 bracelets are 1.80 each. 500+ bracelets are 1.50 each. You may mix quantities of white (large) and pink/blue (small) bracelets in counts of 50 (ie. 50 swirl and 150 white)
CLEARANCE- I am selling the remainder of my stock of car magnet ribbons at a discounted price of $10 each (includes shipping). Once these are gone I will not be reordering. I have very limited quantities left- be sure to let me know which one you want. Thanks!
