"Here is a lost cause no longer lost, but come to triumphant success, and if the pioneers of that cause are looking down upon this scene, there will be rejoicing in heaven on the fourth day of March."
Really, the news that Frances Perkins is to be appointed to the Cabinet of the United States is one of the most inspiring and encouraging events of recent years. My mind is running far back as I write. I am thinking of the pioneers who first declared that woman was man's equal in all respects and as such entitled not only to vote but to hold any office within the gift of the American people. How they were derided, how they were laughed at, how they were subjected to vile abuse, and even physical assault! No one can realize what such sensitive and lovely women as Lucy Stone and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Angelina Grimké, Lucretia Mott, and many others had to suffer when first they dared to take part in the anti-slavery and woman-suffrage agitation nearly one hundred years ago. Indeed, the famous "broadcloth mob" which dragged William Lloyd Garrison through the streets of Boston with a rope around his waist was roused to violence as much by the fact that a group of Boston women had so unsexed themselves as to organize an anti-slavery society and hold a public meeting as by the fact that the society was to be addressed by an English agitator for human rights, George Thompson. Indeed, in 1840 the first World's Anti-Slavery Convention in London refused to seat the American "female delegates" on the ground that for any woman to take part in a public meeting was improper and degrading to the sex!
I remember, too, in later years, the first parade for woman's suffrage held in New York City in which men took part. I was one of the eighty-five members of the sterner sex who were booed and hissed and asked: "Did your wife make you do it?" all the way down Fifth Avenue to Washington Square. Not one of us was sure then that we would live to see the enfranchisement of women, much less be present to rejoice when a woman took her seat in the Cabinet room of the White House. Here is a lost cause no longer lost, but come to triumphant success, and if the pioneers of that cause are looking down upon this scene, there will be rejoicing in heaven on the fourth day of March. And this rejoicing should be doubly vociferous because of the character and achievements of Frances Perkins herself. These the editors of The Nation are treating elsewhere. I can only add my "me, too." But I am particularly pleased that Frances Perkins is a Lucy Stoner–in other words, she has kept her maiden name although happily married and the mother of a most promising daughter. In this hour of depression when the pernicious doctrine is being preached that married women should be debarred from employment by the local, state, and federal governments if there happens to be a husband or another male member of the family who is also working, it is wonderful, indeed, to have Franklin Roosevelt pick not only an extraordinarily able woman of proved ability in public office, but one whose husband is also a wage-earner. That ought to stop a great deal of the mischievous propaganda which could only work infinite harm if it should lead to the adoption of this proposal as a nation-wide policy. No State has the right to deny a woman a job, not even in times of unemployment, if she wants it, has earned it , and is capable of doing it well. Here we have another one of those real issues of personal liberty that ought never to be abridged by sex, or race, or color.

Welcome Guests To Your Destination – When they get to your location, they'll want a cold beverage after experiencing the tropical heat and a few moments to refresh and recharge. Have the hotel staff greet everyone with a drink, and leave a handwritten note in each room that says something along the lines of, "Welcome to Jamaica. Jamaica No Problem! We look forward to seeing you soon."
And while welcome bags aren't a must do, they're a thoughtful way to give guests their bearings and a feel for the country. Fave items for welcome bags are local items such as rum, coffee, sweets and souvenirs. Other items you can include sunblock and mosquito repellant. As a personal touch, include a local guidebook and map.
Be Considerate of Guests: You more than likely arrived a day or two before your guests and you are ready to get things going but keep your welcome gathering casual since guests might be jet-lagged. A laid-back cocktail party or informal dinner eases people into vacation mode and encourages conversations. This is also the best time for all your loved ones to meet one another before a more formal event, like your ceremony.
Arrange some group activities: The key is to entertain your guests without overwhelming them. Take them to experience some popular sites or sample some local cuisine. Include everyone: Keep in mind that not everyone is comfortable in a swimsuit, and your elderly relatives may not be up for alot. Guests should be able to have fun whether they're participating or just observing from a distance. Ideal activities are those that are easy and don't leave anybody behind. Leaving hiking, river rafting etc. for your personal trips or for trips with close close friends.
Allow guests time off from your schedule: Yes, your friends and family are there to enjoy your wedding, but it's also their vacation. To make sure they get the chance to hang out by the pool or explore Jamaica independently limit activities to one a day (nothing before 9:30 a.m.), and avoid anything too long or too far away. For those who will be staying close to the hotel let them know where they can find one another in your welcome packet or via the concierge. Hotels also provide welcome packets of daily activities they can participate in. Last, don't schedule anything for the wedding day because you want them to save their energy for later!
End With A Bang: Saying goodbye is never easy (especially after a wonderful wedding weekend!), but there are ways to make it better. Brunch is one option. If you go that route, keep it informal and let people drop in anytime between 10 a.m. and noon so they can sleep in and pack.
Another luxurious alternative? Treating your attendees to breakfast in bed. You can have items such as pastries, fruit bowls, coffee-filled French presses, and local papers delivered to rooms for bleary-eyed guests to enjoy at their leisure.
Finally, travel hassles risk tainting guests' memory of the trip. To smooth their departure as much as possible, organize shuttle buses to bring them to the airport, suggests Hanlin, or prepare a box lunch for the flight so everyone feels pampered on the way home


text: No offense Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. This childhood response to name-calling is not entirely true. We are all sensing creatures, affected physically and emotionally by others. We are vulnerable. Sometimes, though, we just need to get over it. I vividly recall the days when my three siblings and I were in elementary school. With just a year between each of us, we partook in the typical childhood fighting, including name-calling. I also vividly recall my mom's response. After telling the name-caller that we don't call people retarded, stupid or idiot, she turned to the "victim." "Are you retarded?" she would ask. "Then why does it matter what someone calls you?" Sometimes, we just need to get over it. Frankly, I believe that people today are offended way too easily. The "You Don't Say" campaign encourages oversensitivity to simple words. Man up. No homo. Tranny. Yes, the phrase man up finds its origins in gender norms. I believe in gender norms. So yes, I am saying that men have an inherent strength—stoicism—that women do not naturally possess. I am not saying men never cry, I am not saying that women never remove emotions from the equation. I am saying that men and women tend to differ, having different strengths and weaknesses. Yes, the phrase "no homo" implies that showing affection for someone of the same sex is inherently bad. I believe that homosexuality is wrong. So yes, if I say "no homo," it is because I do not want people to mistake me for a homosexual. I am not saying that homosexuals are not kind and talented people. They are absolutely friendly and gifted individuals, but everyone makes mistakes—in my opinion, homosexual acts are mistakes. Yes, the word tranny implies that a person does not fit the traditional labels. I believe that a person is the gender that matches his sex. So yes, to me, tranny means that the person is unable to correctly identify his sex, an act that I will not condone because I find it to be immoral. Still, however, I will treat these people as I treat my friends. How do I treat my friends? I attempt to do so with love and respect. Love is putting the other person first. One might ask why I cannot take this language out of my speech if it helps a friend. I cannot do this because putting others first does not mean silencing my beliefs and lifestyle. Hypersensitivity to words and phrases is harmful to constructive debates. When groups try to slowly remove phrases from language, ideas are lost. Why can we not just take these phrases at face value? "Man up" means that I think it is the man's job to take control in emotional situations. Maybe you disagree. That is fine. We do not have to agree, but we do not have to take offense at each other's beliefs or the expression of these beliefs either. This leads to my second point, which is respect. Respect, to me, is listening to another person and considering what they have to say. I have read and researched the "You Don't Say" campaign. I have spoken to people about their thoughts on the subject. I think I have an understanding of what the campaign is aiming to communicate—that it is a bad idea to use this language because it harms a group of people. Now, I am asking that people hear what I have to say. I do not want to intentionally hurt these groups, but I do not want the expression of my beliefs to be slowly stripped from me. After time, hypersensitivity erects barriers in communicating certain ideas because the words to do so are publically unacceptable. It also discourages the expression of diverse opinions, because people fear hurting someone's feelings. Instead, we should openly state our viewpoints, as I just did with the words "man up," "no homo" and "tranny." What one says in such debates may be insulting, but that is a part of healthy dialogue. My opinions will undoubtedly displease some group, but hypersensitivity makes it difficult to confront reality and to be real with each other—two capabilities necessary to respect. I do not aim to offend anyone by using these words, but living in harmony with so many dissonant beliefs requires the ability to use words in whatever way one thinks necessary. A person may argue, though, that these words are offensive only when someone is being purposefully derogatory by using the words, rather than simply using them to state opinions. Sometimes, these words are used in order to deliberately hurt a certain group of people. To this, I have just one piece of advice: Man up. Maggie Hammerle is a Trinity junior.

How We Came to Unschooling
Today I would like to welcome Darcel, who has written a guest post on unschooling. She is a mother of two beautiful daughters (with one on the way), a wife, and an advocate for attachment parenting and unschooling. You can normally find Darcel over at The Mahogany Way, her website on motherhood, breastfeeding, and more; or at her networking site, a place for mothers of color to discuss natural living. Today, I have a guest post on The Mahogany Way. So, once you're done reading Darcel's thoughts on unschooling, head on over to find out some answers to the frequently asked questions of parents considering homeschooling.
The Beginning of Our Unschooling Journey
Let me take you back to the summer of 2008. Charles and I were discussing homeschooling, and we both agreed it was something we would never do. I have since learned not to use the word never, because I have eaten my words on several occasions now.
We had just enrolled Nakiah in a speech therapy program through the county earlier that spring. Someone came out to the house to evaluate her, because we were concerned with her speech at the time. We told them all of the things she was doing so well, how active she was, how she could work the computer by herself at the age of two. They did not care about any of those things. They told us that her speech was what was important if she were to keep up with her peers once she started school.
Back then I took the advice of someone I had just met; I realize now how stupid I was. I know my child better than anyone else.
Nakiah would come home with her arts and crafts, and we would stop in from time to time and check up on her. I started to think that everything they were doing with her, I could do at home.
Who Determines Normal?
I researched speech for three year olds and found that there was a wide range of what was considered to be "normal" for her age range.
Then I started to wonder why they refused to recognize all of the things that she excelled at.
We attended a Parent-Teacher Conference and went over the plans for after summer break. They wanted to move her into a bigger room with about 25 kids and one teacher. At the time she was in a room with 10 kids and three different teachers.
I explained to them that I didn't think she would work well in an environment like that. Their response "She's going to have to adjust. That's how it's going to be when she starts public school anyway."
That statement didn't sit right with me. I knew she didn't like large crowds and seemed to do much better with smaller groups and one on one attention.
I also thought that if this is how they treat a child so young, how will they treat her as she gets older?
I Can Homeschool!
Later that week I woke up with homeschooling on the brain. I went to the library and picked up several books on homeschooling. My neighbor let me borrow one of John Holt's books: Learning All The Time.
After reading all of the books, something clicked in me. I thought, "I can homeschool my kids!"
I started to realize that there was nothing wrong with Nakiah. She was learning at her own pace. She was unique and her strengths deserved to be recognized, no matter what anyone else tried to tell us.
She most certainly did not have to sit in a classroom with 25 kids and be put into a box. We had a choice! We didn't have to do anything we weren't comfortable with.
I started really researching unschooling towards the end of the year. I found Sandra Dodd's website and Joyfully Rejoycing.
It all sounded so perfect to me. I realized I was already doing everything the school had done with Nakiah. We did crafts, coloring, puzzles, pretend play, we had music around the house, we played outside, she helped me cook.
Most importantly, we were following her interests and going at her pace.
Personalized Learning
When I approached Charles with the idea of homeschooling he said NO right away. He thought homeschooled kids were weird and wondered how they would socialize. Those were my initial thoughts, too.
We started researching together, and he agreed to give it a year trial run. He really didn't like the term unschooling, so I decided to call it "Personalized Learning."
We started last April. It's been a year and unschooling has transformed our family. The way we interact with each other, the way we respond to our kids, the way we trust in them; it's amazing!
It hasn't always been easy, but the good outweighs the bad. I wrote to one of the unschooling lists two weeks after we had started unschooling. You can find my letter here: Thoughts on Changing.
Unschooling is becoming more than another way to homeschool, it's becoming a lifestyle.
It changes the way we think, act and feel about the world around us.
The world is our curriculum. I love watching my naturally curious girls explore the world around them.
Nothing is out of reach.

"How We Came to Unschooling"
Thank you for sharing. We always knew we wanted to homeschool our kids but didn't know what that would look like before we had kids. Unschooling just fit in with our consensually living lifestyle. It's definitely more than just an educational choice for us.
As a education graduate and a to be (hopefully) public school teacher, I totally support parents that want to homeschool or unschool. I have known a lot of kids that were homeschooled that weren't weird or unsocialized. Personally, in my previous classrooms I never made a kid fit into my classroom, I made my classroom fit them, but I know not all teachers are like that, especially teachers that have been teaching forever and are really set in their ways.
Yay for parents that are doing the right thing for their kids' education, no matter what that choice may be!
Thank you both for your comments.
We are having a great time living life, and learning through living.
So many parents don't understand that they really do have a choice. I'm very glad to have found this path we are on.
The more I think about schooling for my little one the more I lean toward alternative education like home/unschooling, Montessori, etc. I like being able to read about other mamas' experiences so that can make an informed decision.
Nicole – I think it's great that your researching so early on. We always said we wanted our kids to go to private school. I'm not sure where we thought we would get the money from, lol.
Use the hashtag #unschooling on Twitter to find more mom's and dad's to follow.
Dionna – I have OCD tendencies, so it was really hard for me to let go of certain things. I grew up with a very controlling mom. I still struggle sometimes, but I'm doing much better than I was two years ago!
I also love hearing Charles talk about homeschooling the girls. It makes me feel warm inside :)
Thank you for letting me do a guest post on your blog.

Hi Everyone,
I'm very new to workflow so forgive me if I'm asking stupid question.
Here is my scenario :-
Once the data got submitted to a list I have create task for different states(Like HRState, ITDepartment State etc etc) and each pf the state will have more than one task with different data(in terms of title,assigned to etc). That being said my question
will be how I will accomplish these I read about replicator on many bolg but I'm not sure if I can provide different data for each task or not. Also I need to keep track if someone reject the task and come back to lets say HRState than based on that data I
have to go to perticular task.
Please advise me to accomplish the task.
I'm working with Sharepoint 2010 and Visual Studio 2010.
Thanks in advance.

After spending quite some time on this and researching every link I could find, I still am unable to make this work. I'd think this would be an every day case that many people encounter. Document approval with multiple reviewers.But all the workflow examples I can find have one of two things in common. Either they are sequential and don't allow the workflow to revert to an earlier 'state/step' OR they are state machine but then only track one task at any point in time. I need it to be a state machine since the workflow could go in circles between different groups of reviewers until they all agree. I need to be ableÃÂ in any given state, assign tasks to MULTIPLE users to review that document, and then also WAIT till ALL the users in that state have finished reviewing that document. Only thenÃÂ can it go to the next state and a different SET of reviewers. From there it might go back to the initial reviewers if they're not happy or it might move on to the next state.I had tried using a replicator in the submit state to create multiple tasks for all the users (my replicator fired multiple times but only one task would get created). But then when I tried to create the second state to wait on all the tasks that were created, that was a whole other set of issues. I was also starting to go down the road of a statemachine triggering a bunch of sequentials but
I am creating a state machine workflow with 20 states.
My requirement is, irrespective of which state the workflow is in currently, when a user changes an item in the source list as "complete" , the workflow should be terminated.
What would be the best way to achieve this? Should I handle this item change event in all the 20 states? or is there a better way of achieving this?
Please advice.

Both situation works fine. But once the external event occurred and transited to next state, the delay activityÃÂ time out happens and it sends the mail.

But disagreements within the Bitcoin community are being watched closely by central bankers and financial industry executives. The titans of finance are monitoring Bitcoin's successes and failures as they experiment with its technological concepts, like the ledger for recording virtual currency transactions, known as the blockchain.
Many large institutions have said they hope to integrate blockchain technology into their designs for the world's future financial infrastructure, and those designs are likely to be influenced by what is learned from Bitcoin.
"People are looking at this in part because they see the beginnings of a new financial system — a financial system that has a very different structure than the one we have right now," said Neha Narula, the director of the Digital Currency Initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Mr. Lee and others hope Bitcoin can be used for payments someday, but he thinks that will most likely come from software that is built on top of Bitcoin, not the Bitcoin network itself.
Not everyone agrees with Mr. Lee's position. Many entrepreneurs and academics think virtual currencies will gain traction only if they are easy and cheap to send around. The disagreement has given rise to a host of Bitcoin competitors — including a separate virtual currency known as Bitcoin Cash.
But the community that has developed around the original Bitcoin has increasingly been united around a vision that is focused on its goldlike qualities, rather than its ability to compete with PayPal or Western Union.
"The reason people own Bitcoin is because it's a great store of value, possibly the greatest that has ever existed," said Jimmy Song, a developer who has contributed to the Bitcoin software. "You can send money to Africa in 10 minutes, but that's not the main reason people buy it."
Continue reading the main story
When Bitcoin was introduced in 2008, the title of the paper written by its creator, the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, called the currency an "electronic cash system."
The Bitcoin software created a decentralized network of computers that anyone with internet access could join, making it easy to send Bitcoins between addresses. And Bitcoin first gained public notice because of its use as anonymous digital cash on black-market websites like the Silk Road.
But the number of people using Bitcoin to buy things was always small compared with the number of speculators buying it because of its scarcity. This was something the original software behind Bitcoin had also encouraged, by setting a limit of 21 million on the number of Bitcoins that would ever be released.
The increasing value of Bitcoin made it even less attractive as a way to pay for things. Most people don't want to pay now with a dollar that could be worth twice as much next week.
There are also limits on the Bitcoin system's capacity. A rule written into the Bitcoin software had established that the network could process only around five transactions per second — compared with the 25,000 transactions handled by Visa each second.

This bottleneck led to a fight between people looking to use Bitcoin for different purposes. Many early followers believed the system could expand to handle more transactions without sacrificing its status as a virtual commodity. This camp proposed a change to the Bitcoin rules that would have doubled the capacity of the system in November.
But Mr. Lee and other investors and programmers worried that quickly expanding the Bitcoin network would threaten Bitcoin's independence.
"To be a global money, you can't have one bank or one country controlling the money, or even a handful of countries or banks," Mr. Lee said. "If decentralization is jeopardized, most things fall apart with Bitcoin."
Decentralization is a result of Bitcoin's unusual design, which allows users to keep and monitor the records of every single Bitcoin transaction, without any central authority.
Continue reading the main story
If the number of transactions quickly increased, many Bitcoin aficionados believed, only large companies would be able to keep the records. What's more, they believed the design of Bitcoin wasn't well suited to competing with PayPal and Visa, because every transaction has to be recorded on thousands of computers around the world.
"Anyone who looked at Bitcoin and saw 'cheap payments' likely doesn't have much background in computer science," said Ben Davenport, a co-founder of the virtual currency start-up BitGo and an opponent of doubling the network.
This argument prevailed, and in early November the plan to double the network capacity was called off.
Since then, people interested in using virtual currencies to make payments have looked to Bitcoin competitors. Stephen Pair, the chief executive of Bitpay, a start-up that helps companies take virtual currency payments, said his customers were looking to move beyond Bitcoin.
"If people can't engage in commerce, it's hard to imagine why they'd want to store their money in Bitcoin in the first place," Mr. Pair said.
Mr. Pair believes it is irresponsible to suggest that a virtual currency that has been around for less than a decade could pose a credible challenge to gold. The conceit of Bitcoin as a good place to store money, he added, will be less convincing when the price of Bitcoin goes down, as it has in the past.
One alternative is Bitcoin Cash, which was created in August. The price of Bitcoin Cash has risen over 125 percent since the plan to double the capacity of the original Bitcoin was called off.
But there is no shortage of investors who have voted with their pocketbooks for the more cautious approach of the original Bitcoin.
The price of a Bitcoin has jumped 70 percent over the past month, to more than 10 times the price of an ounce of gold.
Continue reading the main story
"I don't think most people treat Bitcoin as something to buy because it'll get feature X, Y and Z in the future," Mr. Song said. "Mostly, people are investing because they believe it to be a good store of value."

Although eating disorders have been documented and studied for centuries, treatment has been guided by the experience and beliefs of the individual clinician. Over time, countless ideas have circulated about both the causes and best treatments for anorexia and bulimia. Unfortunately, very few psychotherapy approaches have been rigorously studied for use with eating disorders. We suggest parents do careful reading about both evidence based and other untested ways to approach the illness.
There are no treatments that can be expected to work for everyone, but identifying evidence-based treatment as a first option is important since eating disorder recovery rates decrease the longer a patient is ill. While lack of research does not mean that a given approach will be dangerous or unhelpful, delaying effective care by experimenting with other treatments can worsen the illness and increase the patient's suffering and resistance to treatment.
Psychotherapy is generally considered to be an important component of treatment and patients and carers will find a veritable "alphabet soup" of treatment approaches and combinations of approaches practiced by ED professionals. Although most treatments have not been well researched, as of now, the evidence-base from controlled trials supports the following recommendations:
Just as not all approaches have been tested, the above evidence-based approaches are often used with patients from groups where high quality research has not been done. For example, FBT is often used with patients with bulimia and with older patients. CBT is often used with anorexia and younger patients. There is no indication that these approaches are only helpful in the populations that have been studied so far.
F.E.A.S.T. Resource Link: FBT/Maudsley Treatment for eating disorders
This approach is based on the idea that "food is medicine" and parents are responsible for decisions regarding food choices and amounts. The patient is seen as being under the strong influence of malnutrition and unable to make choices about food and activity until nutrition has been stabilized and the brain is able to think rationally again. In a 3-stage process, the parents and siblings and ill person engage in family therapy sessions focused on:
Research suggests that the Maudsley approach offers best outcomes for anorexic adolescents living at home who have been ill less than three years, but the approach is also used for bulimia and older patients when appropriate.
Article: "What is CBT ?" from the US National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists
Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on changing the thoughts and behaviors surrounding the eating disorder. Through the use of specific techniques, therapists work individually with the patient to explore maladaptive thoughts and beliefs as well as the eating disorder behaviors that are driven by the thoughts. Sessions are meant to be focused on results rather than insight, deal with the present and not the past, and to be short-term (6-12 months). CBT is a well-established treatment approach for other illnesses, like depression, anxiety disorders and obsessive compulsive disorders.
F.E.A.S.T. Resource Link: Licenses and Certifications
Depending on the treatment approach, a patient may see only one clinician or a multi-disciplinary team of clinicians. While it is ideal to work with a clinic with teams in place, the parent often is responsible for compiling a treatment team. When more than one clinician is involved, all team members should be given legal permission to communicate. One clinician, or the parent, will coordinate information and communication for the team.

|CHAMBER CHALLENGE 2012 - UPDATE #11 - $73,930 (posted 5/8/12 - last updated 4/28)
Posted by Chamber Day Committee on May 08, 2012 at 15:50:37:
Simply incredible, especially when you realize that there were years when the ENTIRE event didn't do this much.
Obviously, we owe a huge debt of gratitude to those who gave to the Compressor Challenge. That alone accounts for $27,000. We got started with $5,000 in seed money from an Ocean Institute donor (who had already made a sizeable donation). That was followed by another donor through the Maddie James Foundation who came up with an $11,000 matching grant if we could come up with the other $11,000. And incredibly, in a space of only 5 days we - no, make that YOU - did. (When I called Karl with the good news, he literally turned to someone in his office and said, "Stop looking at refurbished. We can get a new one!!") So thank you, thank you, thank you.
Some of the Gold donors who made this possible include John Kitchens, Tom Binkley, Wendy & Andrea Horwatt-Mitchell (in memory of Pete Duffin), Deep Sea Supply, and the divers of PCH Scuba with an additional contribution. And we can't forget our Silver donors, Edward Hsu and john Delaney who made an additional donation to ensure that we matched the $11,000. Whew!!!
We also don't want to forget the Roger Hess Memorial Challenge subset of all of this as e received a $1,000 from Phil Koehler in Roger's memory. So it was quite an active finish, especially when you add in all of the Bronze levels donors (23) who kept the momentum going.
We're still quite happy to accept additional donations but here's where we are as of now.
CHAMBER CHALLENGE 2012 - $73,930 total (Updated 5/8/12 @ 3PM - last updated 4/28)
Diamond ($10,000 & up)
Platinum ($5,000 - 9,999)
Gold ($1,000 - 4,999)
Silver ($500-999)
Bronze ($100-499)
Other (under $100)

My 4 year old is wetting the bed, what to do?
2 answers
He was doing very well for a long time, maybe having an accident once a month and now it's numerous times a week! If he wakes up during the night I make him go to the bathroom, which helps. But he doesn't usually wake up. I won't let him spend the night with anyone, including his grandparents because I don't want anyone else dealing with it. Any suggestions?
answers (2)
Have there been any changes in your life recently? If there is something causing you stress h could be picking up on it. Or it could even be something as simple as a new kid in daycare/preschool. Whether there is a new stress or not you should make sure that he doesn't have anything to drink for an hour or two before bedtime. This way he'll be better able to stay dry through the night.

have a problem hiding their datelife from the public.the media seems to monitor their movement. So,they ask their personal assistant to coordinate a slut and direct her in their hideout.
3)goverment workers/politicians
do you know that a percentage of goverment money is spent on prostitution.dont be suprised? The permanent secretaries and commisioners need to relax having spent several nights on numerous night meeting.
4) rich-go to the junction where sluts operate.you will see various kinds of jeep there. The rich spend time away from home away from wives.how else will they keep their device erect.
5) poor ; mathematically belive that it is cheaper to patronise one than to date a girl. They spend hours negotiating

A Very Special Thank You!
I'm at long last home from my travels abroad. And I hardly know how to put into words how grateful I am to all of the amazing guest bloggers that kept the sfgirlbybay readers such good company while I was away in Thailand. Each and every one of you did such a brilliant job, to be honest, I didn't even feel missed! Which is great thing, because not only did you keep the readers happy, entertained and informed (right!?), but I was able to really relax and enjoy my holiday without a worry in the world! I am so forever grateful to each and every one of you:
A very heartfelt thanks to the über talented Mrs. French of Bliss for all her gorgeous photography, and those sneak peeks at Portland shop Noun, and then sharing Noun shop owner Stephanie Sheldon's beautiful home. She also took us back to the beach with some of those amazing photos of her own, as well as some other very talented shutterbugs. Simply stunning!
Kudos to Bradford (aka, my favorite Uncle Beefy) of Bedlam of Beefy for his really fun, and super spooky "ghost blog" of Halloween haunts, a bounty of boutonnieres from San Francisco's own Rosenow Floral Design, and the very lovely work of Gryphon Stationers. And, then last but not least, his two fab tours of one of my favorite cities from the north, Seattle, Washington. You never cease to amaze, Beefy!
Mercí to the always crazily creative Andrea of Hula Seventy, who graciously shared with you one of her fun photobooth specials, and her always incredible photographs, including some inspired by my trip to Thailand she found at one of her fave Portland shops, Cargo. That was just pure genius! She also shared at look at her friends Susan & Barry's lovely and creative Portland home. I want to move in!
Ah, and ありがとう to my dear Hijiri of Heartfish! She shared some amazing images from the Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum in her homeland of Japan. Hijiri also shared some fantastic examples of graphic typography from a recent trip back to San Francisco (where we originally met), as well as incredible imagery from our mutual favorite Hatch Show Print, as well as some beautiful letterpress, wood block type and prints from her recent classes in this timeless craft. I miss you, Heej!
Many, many thanks to Rachel of Bling On My Sewing Machine who brought us some totally inspiring Halloween decor and disguise ideas, not to mention that yummy recipe for her amazing Pumpkin Spice Cookies! Rachel had wanted to share much more, but was feeling unwell, and girl I hope you are doing much better! You are in my thoughts, and I so appreciate your contributions!
So many thanks to the very lovely Raya of The Paper Pony, another wonderful wedding and lifestyle photographer with amazing taste! Raya took us on a few fantastic tours of her hometown of Ventura, a small, and yet beautiful California beach community, and one of my favorite places to visit when I'm down South. Your photos just blow me away!
Muchas gracias (!) to Lisa of Lisa Congdon Art+Craft, and Rare Device. Lisa kindly took us on not just one, but two awesome tours of San Francisco's famed (for furniture, food and fun fashion!) historic Mission District. As an amazing artist with a great eye for style, and a local resident of the Mission, Lisa shared some great and somewhat unknown neighborhood finds! Thank you so much, Lisa!
I'm so very grateful to the dynamic duo, Lauren & Derek of The Curiosity Shoppe , who took us on some totally unique visits around the bay area. Including a cinematic slice of history: Alfred Hitchcock's famous San Francisco film locations, which I was just in awe of (his films are a huge favorite of mine)! As well as a unique DIY look at great finds from Economy Restaurant Fixtures. And finally, one of my very own favorite stomping grounds, SF's own Japantown! Bravo, you guys, I loved it all!!
So much gratitude to Emma of Emma's DesignBlogg, who's based out of Stockholm, Sweden. Emma shared some incredibly beautiful Scandinavian design, including a look at some of the design work currently out of Beckmans School of Design. She also shared some gorgeous interiors from the Danish apartment of Graphic Designer Tobias Mikkelsen and Architect Student Hanne Scheel Mikkelsen. Lovely images, Emma!
And last, but definitely not at all the least, so many thanks to Libby of Pink Shirts & Car Wrecks. Libby shared so much design goodness, from her fun Halloween finds, to her very own version of alphabet city! Not to mention those amazing poster finds from the Poster Offensive event, which everyone went nuts for, and some really well designed studio work spaces, and finally to those, well, very inspiring inspiration wires! You really outdid yourself, Libby!
I hope if you missed any of these posts you'll take a look now, and also continue to check in with this amazingly talented group of artists I've been lucky enough to meet, either in person, or though the wonderful community we've all built together online (including you the readers!!). I feel so honored to call you friends, to have had your kind comments, and contributions, and to get back to work on sfgirlbybay. Thanks to all of you all for staying tuned, and to you guest bloggers for offering up so much of your inspiring creativity in my absence. Thanks for allowing me the time to refuel. It's good to be home!
xx, Victoria

Subj: Sex Maniac Mouse (S235)
From: dogbyte on 7/28/2001
One night a man heard howls coming
from his basement and

Fascinated by what he saw, the man gained the mouse's
confidence with some cheese and then took him next door.
The mouse repeated his amazing performance by raping a
German Shepherd. The man, very excited by this, was dying
to show someone his discovery. He rushed home and woke up
his wife but before he could explain, she saw the mouse,
screamed, and covered her head with the blanket.
"Don't be afraid, darling," said
the man. "Wait until I
tell you about this."
"Get out of here!" cried his
wife. "And take that sex

Ellen Gareckie's Mice Drawings (S876d)
From: Laney Huda on Facebook on 10/16/13
Photo from Amazon.com
Ellen was born in Bennington,
Vermont in 1959. As a child,
she spent much of her spare time drawing. She also kept a
variety of pets throughout her childhood, which included a
pig named Pipsqueak (who was raised on a bottle) a quail,
some lizards and, of course, mice. When Ellen was introduced
to her first mouse, it was love at first sight, and the
beginning of a lifelong interest, which would eventually
lead to the creation of House-Mouse Designs®.
In college and looking for money
for a trip to Europe in 1980,
Ellen followed the advice of her boyfriend, Barry Percy, and
created several pen-and-ink drawings of her pet mouse, Tiny,
to sell at a craft show. Twenty-six years later, their
business is making a darned good living for them.

Mouse looked through the crack
in the wall to see the farmer
and his wife open a package. "What food might this contain?"
The mouse wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a
Retreating to the farmyard, the
mouse proclaimed the warning.
"There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in
the house!"
The chicken clucked and scratched,
raised her head and said,
"Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it
is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse turned to the pig and
told him, "There is a mouse-
trap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The pig sympathized, but said,
"I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse,
but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured
you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow and
said "There is a mousetrap in
the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The cow said, "Wow, Mr.
Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's
no skin off my nose."
So, the mouse returned to the
house, head down and dejected,
to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.
That very night a sound was heard
throughout the house -- like
the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.
The farmer's wife rushed to see
what was caught. In the dark-
ness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the
trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife.
The farmer rushed her to the
hospital, and she returned home
with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh
chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard
for the soup's main ingredient.
But his wife's sickness continued,
so friends and neighbours
came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the
farmer butchered the pig.
The farmer's wife did not get
well; she died. So many people
came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to
provide enough meat for all of them.
The mouse looked upon it all
from his crack in the wall with
great sadness.
So, the next time you hear someone
is facing a problem and
think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is
threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this
journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another
and make an extra effort to encourage one another.
One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a friend.

The first mouse slams a shot

traps for fun. I'll run into one on purpose and as it is
closing on me, I grab the bar and bench press it twenty or

From: jbcary1 on 10/18/2004
(Also see 'Red Pigeon In Phoenix' in BIRDS)
A tourist wanders into a back-alley
antique shop in San
Francisco's Chinatown. Picking through the objects on
display he discovers a detailed, life-sized bronze
sculpture of a rat. The sculpture is so interesting and
unique that he picks it up and asks the shop owner what
it costs.
"Twelve dollars for the rat,
sir," says the shop owner,
"and a thousand dollars more for the story behind it."
"You can keep the story, old
man," he replies, "but I'll
take the rat." The transaction complete, the tourist
leaves the store with the bronze rat under his arm. As
he crosses the street in front of the store, two live
rats emerge from a sewer drain and fall into step behind
him. Nervously looking over his shoulder, he begins to
walk faster, but every time he passes another sewer drain,
more rats come out and follow him. By the time he's walked
two blocks, at least a hundred rats are at his heels, and
people begin to point and shout. He walks even faster, and
soon breaks into a trot as multitudes of rats swarm from
sewers, basements, vacant lots, and abandoned cars. Rats
by the thousands are at his heels, and as he sees the
waterfront at the bottom of the hill, he panics and starts
to run full tilt. No matter how fast he runs, the rats
keep up, squealing hideously, now not just thousands but
millions, so that by the time he comes rushing up to the
water's edge a trail of rats twelve city blocks long is
behind him. Making a mighty leap, he jumps up onto a light
post, grasping it with one arm while he hurls the bronze
rat into San Francisco Bay with the other, as far as he
can heave it. Pulling his legs up and clinging to the
light post, he watches in amazement as the seething tide
of rats surges over the breakwater into the sea, where
they drown.
Shaken and mumbling, he makes
his way back to the antique
shop. "Ah, so you've come back for the rest of the story,"
says the owner.
"No," says the tourist, "I was
wondering if you have a
bronze lawyer."

According to LA Fox News affiliate, Fox 11 News, the fake Rick Ross is ready to settle with the former crack dealer whose name and image he hijacked for his own financial gain.
"Freeway" Ricky Ross says the former corrections officer, whose real name is William Leonard Roberts, has made millions exploiting his name and image.
In an interview two years ago, after he finally came clean about his former life as a prison guard, Roberts denied ever knowing who Ricky Ross was when he assumed the name of the former crack dealer.
Now that the real Ross has filed a $10 million lawsuit against him, Roberts quickly changed his name to "Ricky Rozay" and he's anxious to ante up some cash to settle the suit.
But Ross wants the lawsuit to proceed through the courts. He told Fox 11 that the fake Ross has made millions using his name and it's "too late in the game" to settle now. He also wants 50% of Robert's royalties.

K-State Advanced Manufacturing Institute Develops Patented Phosphorus Recovery System to Assist Kansas Feedlots and Farmers
(Manhattan, Kan., October 29, 2009) – The bioprocessing team at Kansas State University's Advanced Manufacturing Institute in collaboration with the Kansas Environmental Management Associates, has developed a new patented process for recovering excess phosphorus from feedlot waste streams to create a slow release granule fertilizer.
A patent application has been published for "Fluidized Bed Precipitator With Optimized Solids Settling And Solids Handling Features For Use In Recovering Phosphorus From Wastewater."
"Over the past few years, the Environmental Protection Agency has been working on legislation to limit the level of phosphorus in crop field runoff," said Gina Becker, AMI bioprocessing team leader. "One of their main concerns is the use of wastewater from concentrated feeding operations. As a result of legislation, people in the industry across the nation are looking for economical ways to reduce phosphorus levels prior to applying it to fields."
"Protecting the environment while assisting feedlot operators and farmers became a goal for K-State's Advanced Manufacturing Institute when DT Search and Designs, a technology development company in Saint Joseph, Mo., came for assistance in developing a multi-pronged water treatment process for concentrated animal feeding operations," Becker said. "Through an initial market research project, we found that phosphorus reduction was becoming a large issue for many concentrated animal feeding operations."
Becker said, "The Advanced Manufacturing Institute facilitated a meeting between DT Search and Designs and KLA Environmental Services, who formed a joint venture called Kansas Environmental Management Associates. This company sponsored the development and is working to commercialize the technology."
"In the first phase of the project, we developed a phosphorus recovery process on the bench-scale in a laboratory," Becker said. "Once this proved successful, we developed a pilot scale version that operated on a K-State feeding operation pond, called a lagoon. After this testing was complete, we moved to a fully automated farm-scale process at Supreme Cattle Feeders in Liberal, Kan."
"For each phase, the system design was refined to account not only for engineering scale-up issues, such as changes in mixing, settling and heat and material transfer dynamics, but also for practical matters associated with moving from a controlled laboratory to an outdoor operating feedlot," Becker said. "The system is designed to reduce phosphorous levels between 40 and 60 percent, depending on the initial ion concentrations and nutrient management requirements of any particular feeding operation."
According to Kylo Heller, director of development at Kansas Environmental Management Associates, "The system solves two problems; it helps feedlots cost effectively remove phosphorus and meet EPA regulations, and the granules allow for more efficient phosphorus distribution from high concentration areas to low concentration areas. Kansas feedlots benefit from this process because it allows them to be competitive in an industry where regulatory compliance costs are increasingly burdensome and it concentrates the phosphorus so that it is easier to transport further distances."
Angela Kreps, president of KansasBio, said, "I have been an advocate of the phosphorus recovery system since the initial discussions and am encouraged by the work of the Advanced Manufacturing Institute and Kansas Environmental Management Associates. Phosphorus recovery creates innovation in value-added agriculture, and I appreciate the benefits it specifically provides to rural Kansas."
Rich McKee, senior vice president of the Kansas Livestock Association said, "We found the staff at the Advanced Manufacturing Institute to be genuinely invested in our projects. The AMI team is professional, caring and dedicated. They have been a pleasure to work with."
Other partners with similar interests in phosphorus reduction include the Kansas Livestock Association, KLA Environmental Services, Inc., Kansas Bioscience Authority, Kansas Corn Commission, Missouri Life Science Research Board, United States Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency.

richard faralla
Mid-century San Francisco artist Richard Faralla spent the last six years of his life in Petaluma, Ca. During those years he drew and painted daily. Health issues required that he not construct the finely cut and joined complex wood assemblage, for which he is best known.
The many historical and challenging architectural sites along the Petaluma River Basin were his focus. He applied the philosophy and techniques of abstract expression to develop a unique body of work in watercolor, pastel and ink on paper.

"It's easy to forget sometimes that the skills we've picked up through various videogames will often help us towards the next one. Experienced players will often rely on the reflexes that so many games have enforced on us before without even questioning it's use in another game completely. In a way we've all been building up skills since the first game we played, gradually making us better equipped for the next adventure in our paths. Antichamber however wants you to forget all that and start again.
A game built on breaking preconceptions and tropes of game design Antichamber seems to want you to forget all the puzzle solving skills you've ever learned so far. As you can probably tell this is harder and more challenging then it seems but the surprising fact is that forgetting everything you once knew about game design and resetting the way you think is also way more fun and rewarding than it has any right to be. In fact it's damn near genius at times."

Once you understand things, and see the advantages to shooting DAO, I doubt youll be thumb cocking much, if ever again.
I cant think of a single advantage of DAO except being more snag free in most designs. My first gun was a S&W double action revolver, I shot revolvers extensively for a few years and my EDC for 3 years was a model 60 and 640. I am a pretty good shot with revolvers, I practiced a whole lot, dry fire and live fire, and I could certainly see my groups tighten up with practice. But I shoot DA/SA and striker fired autos a whole lot better and with ease. To make things worse, DA triggers on autos are nothing like a revolvers DA trigger and tend to be not as smooth. Which is why the DAK configurations on Sig pistols makes absolutely no sense to me. Why would anyone give up a crisp single action trigger for DAO, and if they are worried about consistency of the trigger pull from shot to shot why not just go with a striker fired pistol, which has a much lighter and crisp trigger pull.

Remove the outer wrappers from the boxes of broccoli. Open one
end of each box. Microwave on full power for two minutes, until
thawed. Drain the broccoli or spinach and put into a large bowl.
Add the shredded chicken.
In a medium bowl, combine the soup, mayonnaise, sour cream,
cheddar cheese, lemon juice, curry powder, salt and pepper to
taste, and wine. Whisk together to make a sauce. Pour the sauce
over the broccoli and chicken. Mix well with a spatula.
Place the mixture into an 11-by-7-inch casserole dish or two
9-inch square disposable aluminum foil pans that have been
sprayed with vegetable oil cooking spray. Pat down evenly and
smooth with a spatula. Combine the Parmesan cheese and break
crumbs and sprinkle over the top. Dot with the butter.
Wrap the uncooked casseroles securely with plastic wrap, then
aluminum foil. Place each pan into a plastic freezer bad and
seal. Freeze. Prepare a label with these instructions: Allow
casserole to thaw 24 hours in the refrigerator. When ready to
bake, remove the plastic wrap and foil. Bake, uncovered, at 350°F

Healing the Wound: Immigration, Activism, and Policies
Both my paternal and maternal families have traversed the U.S.-Mexico border back and forth for generations; some uncles and aunts were born on one side, some on the other. Like hundreds if not thousands of other border families, we have maintained family ties and led lives across national boundaries. As a result, we are not your typical "immigrant family": my mother, after all, had been born in Texas—so returning to the United States from Mexico in 1948 was a kind of coming home.
For all my relatives, those who remained in Mexico and those who migrated to the United States, life has remained split. One cousin, Alicia, went to live in Los Angeles, leaving her daughter with my aunt and uncle in Monterrey, the capital of the Mexican state of Nuevo León; another cousin's child paid a coyote and came to the United States, only to be robbed and forced to return penniless. One cousin, Gonzalo, crossed the river, settled in Chicago, married, had a family, and then returned to the small farming community of Anáhuac Nuevo León, where he was murdered in a bar brawl. His family in Chicago remains unknown to us. My mother, while U.S.-born, lived in Mexico and crossed to work as a maid in a banker's home until she married. Now in her eighties, she recalls how she traveled by train every week from Laredo to Rodríguez, Nuevo León, carrying goods for my grandmother and my aunt.
As children we traveled back and forth constantly, sometimes with my parents, sometimes alone, to visit grandparents, purchase certain goods, or just visit friends and have dinner in Mexico. The same freedom was not there for many family members who did not have papers to cross into the United States. In the past, my family had moved pretty freely back and forth. Some of my father's siblings were born in the United States. As a child I often wondered why we even had a border and what it all meant to have to declare "U.S. citizen" to the uniformed young man who waved us through. But all the same, I knew it was serious business.

Stargazer Barn Wins at North of the Gate Wine Competition 2017 Each year, more than 300 wines are entered in the North of the Gate Wine Competition at the Sonoma-Marin County Fair to face fierce evaluation and appraisal by a nine-judge panel of sommeliers, connoisseurs, and veteran winemakers. The competition is stiff, as this Wine Competition highlights the viticulture regions north of San Fransisco, including the world-class vineyards of Napa and Sonoma counties). "That is what makes this award particularly special," says winemaker Wil Franklin, "our little known AVA of Willow Creek in Humboldt County is going head to head with the very best." Last year was our first time participating in this competition and we were pleased to bring home the most prestigious wine awards of Gold and Silver for our 2014 Sauvignon Blanc, 2014 Chardonnay, 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2013 Merlot.

Environmental Authorisations and Agreements
Environmental Authorisations - What are they?
Under the Environment Protection Act 1997 (Section 41A), it is a requirement that certain activities that pose environmental risk call for an Environmental Authorisation. Environmental Authorisations are one of the most important regulatory tools available to the EPA, as they set out conditions for activities carrying with them the greatest environmental risk. Each authorisation can be individually tailored for the activity it authorises, and can impose specific conditions on the conduct of the activity.
Environmental Authorisations
- Environmental Authorisations
- Commercial Use of AgVet Chemicals
- Environmental Guidelines for the Preparation of an Environment Management Plan
- Search for Environmental Authorisations
Environmental Protection Agreements - What are they?
Environmental Protection Agreements are formal agreements under the Environment Protection Act 1997, between the EPA and people conducting certain activities that pose environmental risks. Environmental Protection Agreements allow scope for business to manage their environmental performance in partnership with the EPA rather than the EPA acting solely as enforcer.
