Alright ladies. My son has been at an in home dc now for only three weeks. She has five children of her own in which she breastfed all of them so she knows how important it is for me and my son. When he first started she was giving him three, three oz bottles (he was getting accustomed to bottle feeding) but said that she thought he needed more and upped it to four bottles. Just in the last week or so she said the three ounces wasn't enough for him so now he gets four, four oz bottles. Once or twice hes skipped one. He typically nurses at 645 and then not again until 515 so he is away from me for ten+ hours. At 1-1.5 oz per hour away he is at the high end of the scale. Does this seem right?
Next... Today he was extra crabby where she said maybe 40 minutes total he was not crying unless he was sleeping. He is a pretty sensitive baby already but that much crying is abnormal. I think he might be teething. An hour after his last bottle she gave him water, i think 3oz. I don't pick up or drop off so I only have what's on the sheet she gives me everyday. I text her and she said she gave it to him just to calm him down. I plan on picking him up tomorrow to talk to her about it but I'm not sure if this should bother me as much as it is. I don't think he should get any water. We really like her so I don't want to create any tension if its not necessary. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cairo, Egypt (CNN) -- Eight American tourists -- six women and two men -- were killed in a traffic accident Sunday while on a tour bus in Aswan, Egypt, the country's interior ministry said.
An additional 19 American tourists and two Egyptians -- the bus driver and a tour guide -- were injured.
A total of 116 American tourists were traveling in three tour buses. The interior ministry said the middle bus -- carrying 37 of the tourists -- crashed into a parked dump truck loaded with sand.
Video of the crash site showed one side of the bus completely sheared off, with some seats dangling from the vehicle's shell. Dried blood could be seen on some of the crumpled wreckage.
Twelve of those injured were taken to Nasser Medical Institute in Cairo, according to the hospital's head, Dr. Bahaa Al-deen Ziad.
Two of the crash victims are in the hospital's intensive care unit in critical but stable condition, Ziad said. The 10 others were admitted to the hospital in stable condition and are being examined by doctors with specialties in neurosurgery, orthopedics and plastic surgery, he said.
Aswan is a popular tourist site in Egypt located about 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) away from Cairo.
The U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued a statement Sunday saying it was "deeply saddened" by the accident.
"The embassy has confirmed that the injured are being moved by military transport to Cairo, and has mobilized staff to identify and to assist those Americans involved," the statement said. "Consular services will be provided to assist any American citizens who have been affected and their families, in coordination with the Egyptian government."
Embassy staff members in Egypt are available for questions or concerns.They can be reached in Cairo at 011 202 2797 3300.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) For Brian Elliott, it was a spotless birthday.
Elliott, who turned 28 on Tuesday, made 15 saves and Alex Steen scored to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 1-0 victory over the Nashville Predators.
The Blues extended their winning streak to a season-long five games. The fading Predators have dropped four straight and seven of their last eight.
St. Louis strengthened its chances of making the playoffs in the West, while Nashville fell deeper into last place in the Central Division.
Elliott was relatively untested en route to his second consecutive shutout. He made four saves in the first, six in the second and five in the third. Elliott has 20 career shutouts.
``I'll take that any birthday, for sure,'' Elliott said. ``It's kind of a gritty win. The puck was bouncing, not too many pretty plays out there, but I'll take that win any day of the week.''
After a scoreless first period, Steen got the game's first goal at 16:37 of the second. Carrying the puck along the boards on the left side, Steen pulled up at the top of the left circle and fired a slap shot that beat goaltender Pekka Rinne between the pads.
``In the beginning, I thought we were on the outside a little much, but we got in front and in the tough areas the longer the game went on,'' Steen said. ``Fortunately today, one was enough.''
Steen snapped a six-game goalless stretch.
``I really liked the way we played in the second and third,'' Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. ``I thought we were outstanding. I thought we checked hard.''
The Predators are accustomed to scoreless opening periods this season, and Tuesday was the 13th time they have gone into the first intermission with the score 0-0.
``We can't sustain any offense and it is tough to get any shots,'' Nashville captain Shea Weber said. ``Everything we've got has been from the outside and we really did not have very many good scoring chances.''
Rinne made 25 saves in the loss.
``The Blues have won five in a row and only given up five goals,'' Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. ``They're as strong defensively as anyone in the National Hockey League.''
For the second time in as many games, a Predators forward made his NHL debut as Daniel Bong played after being recalled from Milwaukee of the AHL earlier in the day. Nashville has had a rash of injuries among its forward corps, causing Austin Watson to be recalled for Sunday's game in Detroit.
NOTES: Nashville's lowest shot total was 13 in a Jan. 24 loss to the Blues. Rinne has started 25 consecutive games for the Predators ... St. Louis went unpenalized in the game. The Blues have not allowed a power-play goal against in the last seven games. Elliott has won four consecutive starts.

European Jesus Vs. African Jesus
Recently, a painting portraying Jesus as black caused a bit of an uproar among traditional Christians on the grounds of accuracy. Jesus wasn't African or the product of a race that is black, therefore any portrayal of Jesus as black is inaccurate. Some claim even "dangerous," hence the attempt to get the paintings of black Jesus banned.
While I don't believe Jesus was black (based on his ethnicity and heritage), I do believe we Westerners need to hold the accuracy mirror up to our own faces. We can cry "inaccuracy!" all day long at the paintings of black Jesus, but what have we said about European Jesus? You know, fair-haired, light eyes, white-skinned Jesus? Isn't that the predominate picture of Jesus that hangs on the walls and minds of most Christians emmersed in Western Civilization? Where's the movement to ban Him? Jesus may not have been African, but He surely wasn't European either (and don't even get me started on American Jesus...OY). He probably had dark hair and eyes with dark olive-colored skin. You know, kind of like a 1st century Middle-Eastern Jew? Fancy that!
Now, why is our false western portrayal of Jesus' physical attributes any better than the false African version? Why is it acceptable to make Jesus white when He wasn't, but unacceptable to make Him black when He wasn't? It's a bit hypocritical. I don't like to play the race card, but such hostility aimed toward "Black Jesus" suggests a form of latent racism.
Racism aside, there is an even more significant issue that runs deep beneath a controversy as superficial as the skin color of Jesus. The deeper issue is the distortion of Jesus. There's an old saying that goes:
"God created man in His own image, and ever since, man has been trying to return the favor."
Whether it's manipulating Jesus' physical attributes to mirror our own or slanting His teachings to fit our politics and ideologies, mankind continues to try and control Jesus by making Him more like us, instead of submitting ourselves to making mankind more like Jesus.

Figures released yesterday, April 16, show generous East Midlands folk have dug deep to help The Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal break the £2million mark for the fourth year in a row.
Since the 2013 Poppy Appeal launched last October, people in the East Midlands have donated more than £2.5million to date, which will help the Legion continue to provide direct welfare support and advice to the Armed Forces community. In Derbyshire, £650,000 has been donated so far, and the money keeps coming in with five months to go until the appeal year ends in September.
Claire Rowcliffe, Interim Head of Regional Fundraising at the Legion, is amazed by the support of people across the region. She said: "We are thrilled at the generosity of the people in the East Midlands. It's a great achievement to say we have broken the £2million target for the last four years and even more poignant this year as we commemorate 100 years since Britain entered the First World War.
"Every penny raised will make a huge difference to Service personnel, veterans and their families, from helping a young widow through an inquest to representing injured Servicemen in their appeals for compensation. We helped nearly 3,000 beneficiaries in the East Midlands last year alone, so it's vital we keep raising money to stand shoulder to shoulder with them."
The Legion's welfare programme runs year round and the charity spends £1.6million a week in direct welfare support. A number of fundraising initiatives run outside of the Poppy Appeal including Honour walks and bike rides, challenge events and Poppy Picnics.
The Legion has launched a new Freephone number so if you need advice please call 0808 802 8080. For more information on the charity visit www.britishlegion.org.uk.

Cynthia Lee Fontaine Headlines Casa Cupula's Quinceañera
Cynthia Lee Fontaine, undisputed Miss Congeniality of hit reality TV show "RuPaul's Drag Race," has been selected by the team at legendary Puerto Vallarta boutique hotel Casa Cupula to headline the property's highly anticipated quinceañera - or 15th anniversary -celebration, to take place January 19, 2018.
Cynthia, better known as "Cucu," appeared in the popular U.S.-based drag reality competition in Seasons 8 and 9, and is known for her mixture on Latin and camp performance. At Casa Cupula, she will perform Jan. 19 and will also host Casa Cupula's new "Adam & Steve" party on Saturday January 20. This event takes place in the property's new Pool Club, where Cucu will host a challenge to find a "Steve" for Adam that afternoon.
"Cynthia Lee Fontaine's brand of performance is the perfect match to our celebration and a quinceanera's natural campiness," said Casa Cupula founder Don Pickens. "'RuPaul's Drag Race' has completely revolutionized the way the world sees the [drag] art form, and Cucu is one of the queens at the forefront of this second coming of RuPaul's world domination. We are excited to have such an internationally celebrated personality join us."
Casa Cupula, Puerto Vallarta's legendary LGBT resort, is celebrating its 15th birthday throughout the season, starting with a party featuring the Desperate Princesses of Puerto Vallarta on Friday, November 24 at 9pm. A quinceañera is one of the most important Mexican celebrations, presenting a birthday girl to society at the age of 15.
Casa Cupula opened as Mexico's first high-end LGBTQ property in 2002. In the years since, the 5-bedroom guesthouse and oasis for gay travelers has grown into an 18-room full resort. It has played an integral role in elevating Puerto Vallarta's reputation as Mexico's gay vacation mecca, by catering to sophisticated LGBT travelers.
"We have been part of a great movement to modernize the image of Puerto Vallarta by showcasing the contemporary and luxurious offerings found in our Romantic Zone, Puerto Vallarta's 'gayborhood,'" Pickens added. "Today, Vallarta is proud to be one of the most important international gay destinations, and Casa Cupula is consistently rated among the top hotels of any kind in Vallarta."
During the property's 15-year run, it has continuously updated its offerings adding Pump Gym & Spa, Taste Restaurant and the new Pool Club this month. Also this month, the property opens its new "Frida Suite," honoring the style of the iconic, early 20th century Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Designed to reflect Kahlo's love for Mexican traditions and culture, the suite will be easily accessible for those with different abilities.

Paediatric plaque psoriasis
Treatment of chronic severe plaque psoriasis in children and adolescents from the age of six years who are inadequately controlled by, or are intolerant to, other systemic therapies or phototherapies.
What is Enbrel?
Enbrel is a medicine that contains the active substance etanercept. It is available as vials containing a powder that is made up into a solution for injection, and as prefilled syringes and pens containing a solution for injection.
What is Enbrel used for?
Enbrel is an anti-inflammatory medicine. It is used for the treatment of the following diseases:
- moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (an immune-system disease causing inflammation of the joints) in adults (aged 18 years or over). Enbrel is used with methotrexate (a medicine that acts on the immune system) in adults with moderate or severe disease who have not responded adequately to other treatments, or on its own if methotrexate is not suitable for the patient. Enbrel can also be used in patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis who have not taken methotrexate before;
- certain forms of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (a rare childhood disease causing inflammation of many joints) in the following groups:
- patients aged two to 17 years who have polyarthritis (rheumatoid-factor-positive or -negative) and extended oligoarthritis and have not responded adequately to or cannot take methotrexate;
- adolescents aged 12 to 17 years who have psoriatic arthritis (a disease causing red, scaly patches on the skin and inflammation of the joints) and have not responded adequately to or cannot take methotrexate;
- adolescents aged 12 to 17 years who have enthesitis-related arthritis and have not responded adequately to or cannot take standard treatment;
- psoriatic arthritis in adults who have not responded adequately to other treatments;
- severe ankylosing spondylitis (a disease causing inflammation of the joints of the spine) in adults who have not responded adequately to other treatments;
- plaque psoriasis (a disease causing red, scaly patches on the skin) in adults with moderate to severe disease and in patients from the age of six years with long-term severe disease. Enbrel is used in patients who have not responded to or cannot receive other treatments for this disease.
- Severe non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (a chronic inflammatory disease of the spine) when there are objective signs of inflammation but no abnormalities seen on x-ray.
For more information, see the summary of product characteristics (also part of the EPAR).
The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.
How is Enbrel used?
Enbrel treatment should be started and supervised by a specialised doctor who has experience in the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases that Enbrel is used to treat.
Enbrel is given by injection under the skin. For adults, the usual recommended dose is 25 mg twice a week or 50 mg once a week. Treatment with 50 mg twice a week can also be used during the first 12 weeks of treatment for plaque psoriasis. For patients below 18 years of age, the dose depends on body weight. The patient or carer can give the injection if they have been trained appropriately. For more information, see the package leaflet.
Patients who take Enbrel must be given the special alert card that summarises important safety information about the medicine.
How does Enbrel work?
The active substance in Enbrel, etanercept, is a protein that has been designed to block the activity of a chemical messenger in the body called tumour necrosis factor (TNF). This messenger is found at high levels in patients with the diseases that Enbrel is used to treat. By blocking TNF, etanercept reduces the inflammation and other symptoms of the diseases. Etanercept is produced by a method known as 'recombinant DNA technology': it is made by cells that have received a gene (DNA) that makes them able to produce etanercept.
How has Enbrel been studied?
Enbrel has been studied in five main studies in rheumatoid arthritis, involving about 2,200 patients and lasting from three months to two years. Three studies compared Enbrel with placebo (a dummy treatment) in patients who had taken arthritis medicines in the past. One of these studies examined Enbrel's effects as an add-on to methotrexate in 89 patients. In the fourth study, Enbrel was compared with methotrexate in 632 patients who had not taken methotrexate before. The fifth study compared the effectiveness of Enbrel, methotrexate and a combination of both in 686 patients.
Enbrel was also compared with placebo in 51 children with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, 205 adults with psoriatic arthritis, 357 adults with ankylosing spondylitis, 1,263 adults and 211 children with plaque psoriasis, as well as in 225 patients with non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. In all of the studies, the main measure of effectiveness was the change in symptoms.
The studies in children with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis and plaque psoriasis were followed up with long-term studies to assess the safety of long-term treatment in children.
What benefit has Enbrel shown during the studies?
Overall, in the studies of rheumatoid arthritis, about two thirds of the patients receiving Enbrel had a reduction in symptoms of 20% or more after three months. This compared with around a quarter of the patients receiving placebo. In the study of patients who had not taken methotrexate before, those receiving 25 mg Enbrel twice a week had less joint damage than those taking methotrexate alone after 12 and 24 months. In the fifth study, Enbrel on its own or in combination with methotrexate was more effective than methotrexate alone.
For all other diseases studied, Enbrel produced a greater improvement in symptoms than placebo after three to four months.
The long term safety studies found that Enbrel could be used in polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children from the age of two years and plaque psoriasis from the age of six years.
What is the risk associated with Enbrel?
The most common side effects with Enbrel (seen in more than 1 patient in 10) are injection site reactions (including bleeding, bruising, redness, itching, pain and swelling) and infections (including colds, and lung, bladder and skin infections). Patients developing a serious infection should stop Enbrel treatment. For the full list of all side effects reported with Enbrel, see the package leaflet.
Enbrel must not be used in patients who have or are at risk of sepsis (when bacteria and toxins circulate in the blood and start to damage the organs), or in patients with infections.
For the full list of restrictions, see the package leaflet.
Why has Enbrel been approved?
The CHMP decided that Enbrel's benefits are greater than its risks and recommended that it be given marketing authorisation.
What measures are being taken to ensure the safe and effective use of Enbrel?
A risk management plan has been developed to ensure that Enbrel is used as safely as possible. Based on this plan, safety information has been included in the summary of product characteristics and the package leaflet for Enbrel, including the appropriate precautions to be followed by healthcare professionals and patients.
The company that makes Enbrel will provide educational material for doctors expected to prescribe the product (to teach patients how to use the pre-filled pen correctly) and for patients (so they can recognise any serious side effects, and know when to seek urgent attention from their doctor).
Other information about Enbrel
The European Commission granted a marketing authorisation valid throughout the European Union for Enbrel on 3 February 2000.
For more information about treatment with Enbrel, read the package leaflet (also part of the EPAR) or contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Petitions by gay groups this week aimed at plucking the upcoming Democratic National Convention out of Charlotte, N.C., and plopping it elsewhere after the state convincingly passed a gay marriage ban are unlikely to succeed.
But stirring discontent with North Carolina, punctuated by Obama's reversal on gay marriage and declaration of support a day after the state referendum, isn't the only red flag that's whipping around a year after Democrats picked Charlotte as their 2012 convention site, partly as a symbol of Obama's outreach to Dixie and to highlight the economic and demographic transformation of North Carolina from Mayberry quaintness to harbinger of a 21st century knowledge economy.
Since Obama became the first Democratic presidential nominee to prevail there since Jimmy Carter in 1976, the state has come to symbolize many of the Democrats' challenges as they seek Obama's reelection: stubborn economic hardship (9.7 percent unemployment), culture war battles on the ascendant, and a scandal-riven state party that has struggled to reassemble and excite the mosaic of voter groups that backed Obama in 2008.
In short, "The Old North State has become a battleground," writes Duke University public policy professor Jacob Vigdor, in a Wall Street Journal column.
Gay marriage issue: Who does it hurt most, Obama or Romney?
That battle heated up this week after the gay marriage ban was approved by a 61 to 39 margin along neat geographical lines, making North Carolina the 26th state with such an amendment.
Solidly in favor were the state's vast rural tracts, where the state's political power still resides. Solidly opposed were the state's growing urban areas, like Raleigh and Chapel Hill, which have come to define the transformation of North Carolina from an agrarian, tobacco-growing backwater to a polyglot society of immigrants and newcomers, where about half the populace hails from somewhere else, often from another country.
In 2008, Obama managed to exploit anger at George W. Bush while rallying young people, many of them first-time voters, to the polls. But this time those voters may be harder to reach.
Young people, especially, are bearing the brunt of economic hard times. And blacks in North Carolina, who came out in force for Obama in 2008, overwhelmingly supported the gay marriage ban, highlighting the hazards of the President's political high-wire act on gay marriage.
That stance may become even more complicated as many Democrats are now pushing for gay marriage to become part of the Democratic platform to be approved in Charlotte, which could turn out to be divisive and distracting, especially given that the majority of voters in North Carolina remain, at least on the books, Democrats.
The Charlotte pick for the convention has also angered many union workers, who complain that there are no unionized hotels in North Carolina's banking capital. Some of them plan to join gay marriage advocates in protest at the convention.
The President's North Carolina woes don't end there.
The state has also become a nexus of Obama backlash. Since 2008, Republicans took over both chambers of the state legislature for the first time since Reconstruction, and Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue, who had hoped that Obama's presence in the state could elevate her own campaign, has decided not to run for reelection amid widespread speculation that she'd have little chance of winning.
To make matters worse, her decision not to seek reelection came after she admitted to being aware of an attempted cover-up of sexual harassment allegations involving the state Democratic party executive director. The scandal has demoralized state Democrats and left the party in bitter disarray.
In the end, North Carolina may be more problematic for the presumptive Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, than Obama, whom political experts say can more easily cobble together an electoral college victory without the state's 15 presidential electors.
Even on that front, North Carolina symbolizes national voter excitement ahead of the election. More than 40,000 more people voted in this year's primaries than in 2008, even though the national contest had largely been settled.
But while the North Carolina convention has suddenly come to represent Democrats' complicated path to victory in November, others believe the big party in Charlotte in August will become a clarion call for Obama's campaign.
"I think the greatest strength that the party has is President Obama, and he's the thing that people will rally around," Gary Pearce, a former Democratic consultant in the state, told the Associated Press.

MOSCOW (AP) ? Seeing the president slam face-first into the ground after falling from a speeding horse would be a shock to any nation. In authoritarian Turkmenistan, many residents didn't even get the chance.
President Gurbanguli Berdymukhamedov apparently wasn't seriously injured Sunday when his horse stumbled and he pitched into the dirt track at the hippodrome on the outskirts of the capital, Ashgabat. But the fall was certainly a wound to the pride of the 55-year-old Central Asian leader, whose all-powerful personality cult portrays him as effortlessly competent.
Thousands of people were in the stands for the race that celebrated Turkmenistan's renowned desert racehorse breed, the Akhal-Teke. But state television's video of the race cut off just before the fall and the extensive written reports on the event didn't mention the plunge.
All domestic broadcasting in Turkmenistan is state-run; newspapers are either state-run or under heavy government supervision. Media criticism of the president is non-existent and elaborate praise of him is ubiquitous in this nation of 5 million, wedged between the Caspian Sea and Iran, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.
Turkmenistan's security agencies reportedly went into high gear to try to block video or images of the president's fall from slipping out to the rest of the world. The opposition-in-exile group Gundogar cited witnesses as saying police were carefully checking the computers, tablets, mobile phones and cameras of departing passengers at Ashgabat's airport. The horse celebration had attracted an array of foreign horse enthusiasts.
Video obtained by The Associated Press shows a rider falling when his horse stumbles just after crossing the finish line in first place. State media reported that Berdymukhamedov won the race.
The horse also fell, but quickly got up, showing a slight limp. Berdymukhamedov, however, lay motionless. Within seconds, several dozen men in dark suits and one in traditional garb including a high white sheepskin hat rushed onto the track, and an ambulance soon arrived.
The man who shot the video spoke on condition of anonymity for fear that divulging his name could have negative repercussions on his livelihood. He said the president reappeared about half an hour later to accept the winner's prize ? about $11 million.
State TV showed the president accepting the award, which he said would be used to improve Turkmenistan's horse breeding.
The choreographed winning of the race ? the nearest challenger was obviously throttling back his mount in the home stretch ? the media censorship and the reported tough security response at the airport all reflect Turkmenistan's two decades of stifling authoritarianism.
Since becoming independent in the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, Turkmenistan has been an extreme example of a one-party state.
Its first leader, Saparmurat Niyazov, developed a pervasive personality cult that included renaming months of the year after his family members. He also mandated that all schoolchildren study his rambling spiritual guide and once claimed that reading it three times would guarantee the reader a berth in heaven.
Some of his measures verged on black comedy, including banning opera and ballet because they did not reflect traditional Turkmen culture and banning lip-synching on the grounds that it weakened Turkmens' ability to become skilled singers.
Berdymukhamedov, who became president after Niyazov's death in 2006, has put aside some of Niyazov's more extreme measures, but he has not opened up Turkmenistan's politics or media. His own personality cult includes such feats as winning last year's maiden automobile race in Turkmenistan, even though he supposedly wasn't scheduled to take part and asked to join only at the last minute.
State media reports about the president's actions overflow with admiration and delight.
"The audience greeted President Gurbanguli Berdymukhamedov, who finished first ? demonstrating great skills of horse riding, the will to win, firmness and courage ? with a storm of applause," the state news agency TDH reported after Sunday's race.

UNGEI Open Forum on Gender Equality in Education in the Post-2015 Development Agenda
As a lead partnership spearheading strategies to tackle gender equality in education, UNGEI seized the opportunity to host this event to frame its current and future work within the broader development agenda. Ms. Nora Fyles, Head of the UNGEI Secretariat, introduced the panel, which included notable guests Ms. Amina Mohammed, Special Adviser on Post-2015 Development Planning; Ms. Sumaya Saluja, Advocate from the Global Education First Initiative Youth Advocacy Group (GEFI); Mr. Richard Morgan, Senior Adviser (Post-2015 Agenda) at UNICEF; and Dr. Nicholas Alipui, Director of Programmes at UNICEF.
Mr. Richard Morgan provided opening remarks and highlighted that although the world has made significant progress, there are still over 61 million children out of school, half of which are girls. Resonating with UNGEIs mandate, Mr. Morgan emphasized that there is a lot of work that needs to be done to ensure both gender equality and equity in education.
In her keynote address, Ms. Mohammeds messages reinforced this reality. First, lets finish the unfinished business from the MDGs, said Ms. Mohammed. She also emphasized the role of women and girls in achieving development goals. She said, If we dont invest in women and girls, we will just be running on half an engine.
Ms. Mohammed added, The Secretary-Generals Global Education First Initiative puts a spotlight on what we can do [in education] until 2015. When speaking about what to expect in the Post-2015 Development Agenda, Ms. Mohammed said, [It] will be different from the MDGs, shifting and broadening to a sustainable development agenda. This new agenda is about young people. They dont need to be talked at, they need to be talked with.
Ms. Sumaya Saluja, a member of the Global Education First Initiative Youth Advocacy Group, provided her perspective as a youth herself. She said, Young people are an immense asset. We dont cost that much to work with and mobilize so it is really a good investment. She stressed the idea of moving the discourse from education to learning. We must question why children who have access to school are going to school, but just arent learning, said Ms. Saluja.
Dr. Nicholas Alipui, Director of Programmes at UNICEF, said, Knowledge is power and education, if done right, can empower and break the cycle of poverty. He referenced UNGEI and Plan Internationals Call to Action which was released at the recent Learning for All Ministerial Meeting in Washington DC the week prior. The UNGEI partnership has thrown the spotlight on girls education and we urgently need to accelerate girls education now and in the future post-2015 agenda, said Dr. Alipui.
Closing remarks were provided by Ms. Oley Dibba-Wadda, Executive Director of the Forum for African Women Educationalists. The floor was later opened to the participants, which included members from UNGEIs Global Advisory Committee and representatives from international agencies and non-governmental organizations, to exchange their thoughts with the panelists.
We will all continue to anticipate what the post-2015 development agenda will look like, but a clear message that came out during the forum is the critical role that partnerships, such as UNGEI, will play in representing various voices and shaping the agenda to address emerging challenges.
When asked to reflect on the value of partnerships, Ms. Mohammed said, Partnerships can be used to lift the [development] agenda. What weve seen with the Post-2015 discussions is that there are an amazing number of representatives from vulnerable groups coming to the table with an agenda - they want more than a social agenda, they want us to recognize the circumstances that they are in. Thats a voice we did not have [access to] in 2000. People are far more aware today about their rights and opening these spaces up is very important. Partnerships need to help the north-south space open wider within civil society, business and governments. I think this is happening now.

Pregame concert and tailgate set for Saturday, special "Dollar Night" promotion scheduled on Monday
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 9, 2011) - As the ETSU women's basketball team gears up for its final regular season homestand, the Lady Buccaneer Grant Team has implemented some special gameday promotions for Saturday and Monday.
On Saturday, when ETSU hosts North Florida at 1:30 p.m. inside the MSHA Athletic Center, the Lady Bucs have joined arms with the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) for its annual Pink Zone game. Over the past four years, the WBCA Pink Zone initiative has raised an immense amount of awareness for breast cancer, as well as a significant amount of donations for women's cancer research.
ETSU has made a special ticket incentive for Saturday's game as fans who wear pink - in honor of breast cancer and the WBCA Pink Zone initiative - receive admission for only $1. In honor of the Pink Zone game, the Lady Bucs will wear pink socks, shoelaces and shooting shirts; while the officials will be sporting pink whistles. In addition, specially made pink ETSU WBCA Pink Zone shirts will be on sale for $10, and items will be available to bid on during a silent auction on Saturday. Also, at halftime, ETSU faculty and staff members that have battled breast cancer will be recognized on the court.
Saturday is also Family Day and the Lady Bucs have teamed up with WCQR to have former Miss Johnson City Jessica Nixon perform a special pregame concert beginning at 11:15 a.m. Doors to the Dome open at 11 a.m., and the first 300 fans will be treated to free food. Meanwhile, tailgate games and inflatables will be set up for children and families to participate in; while several ETSU organizations will be on hand for a "Charity Carnival."
All the proceeds from the Pink Zone-Family Day event will be donated to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
Monday night - when the Lady Bucs face Jacksonville at 7 p.m. - seniors Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) and Latisha Belcher (Martinsville, Va.) will be recognized with a pregame ceremony as it marks their final home game in a Lady Buccaneer uniform. Davis, who is only the third player in program history to have scored over 1,000 points and dish out 400 assists, is looking to become the first player in ETSU history to play in four consecutive NCAA Tournaments. Meanwhile, Belcher has battled through multiple knee surgeries in order to be active for her final year, and she currently ranks 17th all-time on the ETSU scoring chart and third in steals.
ETSU fans will be treated to a special "Dollar Night" promotion for the Jacksonville game as everything from admission - with two canned food items - to food and drink inside the concession booths are only $1. Bring your "Valentine" to the game and receive a special limited edition giveaway courtesy of Johnson City Honda (first 500 fans). In addition, one lucky student will walk away with a prize pack; while students who have attended additional home games will have more chances to win.

Ackley homers twice, Seager adds blast in loss
SEATTLE -- Leading 7-5 entering the seventh inning, the Mariners were primed to take three of four from the visiting Royals and overcome a sloppy start to Sunday's finale at Safeco Field.
But it came undone in the seventh inning, and Seattle fell, 9-7, to drop to 19-18 on the season and settle for a series split against Kansas City.View Full Game Coverage
SEATTLE -- Leading 7-5 entering the seventh inning, the Mariners were primed to take three of four from the visiting Royals and overcome a sloppy start to Sunday's finale at Safeco Field.
But it came undone in the seventh inning, and Seattle fell, 9-7, to drop to 19-18 on the season and settle for a series split against Kansas City.View Full Game Coverage
The implosion started when Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer led off the seventh with a ground-rule double against reliever Danny Farquhar. After Billy Butler struck out on a foul tip, Danny Valencia drew a walk. Alex Gordon followed with a walk to load the bases.
Lorenzo Cain cut the lead to 7-6 with a sacrifice fly to center. Two outs.
Then, Johnny Giavotella delivered the proverbial dagger, launching Farquhar's 91 mph cutter into the left-field bullpen.
"I played [against] the guy in college and I kind of knew that he was an ambusher," Farquhar said. "I think I should have been more locked in and executed the pitch a little better."
Farquhar got through the inning but picked up the loss, giving up two hits and four runs. The three-run homer proved the difference on an afternoon where the Mariners committed five errors, but received two solo home runs from Dustin Ackley and a two-run shot from Kyle Seager.
Five errors?
"That's probably a question for the guys in that locker room," manager Lloyd McClendon said. "What I don't do is make excuses for guys so the onus is on the players in the locker room today. If you got a question about errors, go talk to them."
"Sometimes they're as contagious as hitting is," Ackley said, referring to the defensive gaffes. "Anything is contagious but we just got to scratch this one and move on."
It started ugly.
Valencia and Gordon began the second inning with back-to-back singles off Mariners lefty Roenis Elias. The next batter, Cain, grounded sharply to Seager, but the third baseman couldn't field the ball cleanly. The error loaded the bases.
Elias struck out Giavotella for the first out of the inning, but Alcides Escobar followed by hitting Elias' first pitch over the left-field fence for a grand slam that gave the Royals a quick 4-0 lead.
"He jumped on it. That's all there was to it," Elias said through a translator.
Elias rebounded to go five innings, allowing five runs, three earned, on nine hits and a walk. He struck out five while throwing 87 pitches but was lifted after Seattle staked him a 7-5 lead.
"We got to remember this is a young pitcher we have to take care of," McClendon said. "All in all he came out of the game with a lead. We would have liked him to go more but it just wasn't feasible today."
The Mariners responded against Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie in the bottom of the third when Ackley led off with a home run. Stefen Romero was hit by a pitch before Mike Zunino followed with a single. Outfielder James Jones' bunt groundout advanced Zunino to second.
Then, shortstop Brad Miller, who entered the game with a .164 batting average, ripped a one-out, two-RBI double to right field that pulled the score to 4-3.
The Royals added another unearned run in the top of the fourth but in the bottom of the inning the Mariners answered.
Justin Smoak lined a one-out single into right field, then Seager lined a home run over the right-field fence. Ackley then hit his second home run of the day to give the Mariners their first lead of the game at 6-5 and himself the first multi-homer game of his career. He finished 3-for-4 to boost his average to .264. In the past 11 games, he's batting .355 (11-for-31) with three home runs and six RBIs.
"They both felt great," Ackley said of the homers. "The one yesterday felt great so I'm just going to try to keep it rolling."
In the fifth, Corey Hart, using an MLB-approved pink, Mother's Day bat, lined a single back up the middle to score Jones and give Seattle the 7-5 advantage.
But that was the last time the Mariners would score, thanks to a Kansas City bullpen that combined to throw 4 1/3 scoreless innings.
"Listen, we didn't play a very good game," McClendon said. "You can analyze it anyway you want to. I told my team that we didn't play very good. We kicked ourselves in the [butt] today. It's that simple."

The Best Route to Play Commodities?
Some funds hold futures, while others hold stocks or even physical assets. Here's how to choose.
It used to be that most individual investors seeking to bet on commodities faced a stark choice: buy shares in companies that produce raw materials, or drill for oil near the bullion buried in the backyard.
Now individuals have a much wider range of options, thanks to a growing menu of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. In addition to funds that hold commodity-related stocks, which have been around for decades, there are ETFs that invest in physical metals and commodity futures, as well as some more narrowly drawn commodity-stock...

President, Albuquerque Teachers Federation
If you haven't heard by now, Susana Martinez is trying to prevent public sector unions from collecting membership dues. The governor's conversation may be about dues, but the deeper context is about something much greater: the existence of unions, the right to organize and workplace democracy.
Governor Martinez said, "I oppose forcing the state to collect union dues for big labor." Big labor? The governor is trying to apply a pejorative label onto democratic institutions committed to improving compensation, working conditions and benefits for their members and, in turn, for all workers. Because we have unions we have child labor laws, sick leave, social security, worker's compensation and so much more.
The governor extends her misguided label to the Albuquerque Teachers Federation because we have opposed her corporate reform agenda for our schools and supported real education reform designed to change teaching and learning for the better. For example, a well thought out teacher evaluation bill (Senate Bill 588 in 2013) — supported by teachers and passed overwhelmingly by the legislature — was vetoed by the governor.
The governor wants to eliminate democratic unions, such as the ATF, so our unified voice for progress will be silenced. Why? Because we are fighting her poorly designed, unilaterally imposed teacher evaluation system that is heavily weighted toward testing children. We, not her, are the ones witnessing our students cry from having to take one more high-stress standardized test. She wants to silence our union and our voice, but we will not be silenced.
Trying to scare the public with worn-out labels, like union boss, won't work. The public knows that the teachers' union is made up of professionals who taught you how to read, took care of you when you were sick at school, supported you in times of crisis and gave you tools for success. Most New Mexicans will reject the governor's deceptive tag, and apply their own terms to our union members: teacher, librarian, nurse, social worker, counselor, or therapist.
Why does the governor claim my union is against reform? My union believes that public schools belong to all of us: students, parents, community members, educators and school staff. And, these groups who are closest to students and who have the most expertise about the education process, should have a voice in shaping policy and practice. Top-down pseudo-reforms from entrepreneurs and philanthropists rarely, if ever, focus on the actual needs of teachers and students.
My union wants schools to be fully funded for success and equity. We believe that the purpose of public education is to enable every student in every school to fully participate in a thriving democracy — to develop the thinking skills and dispositions that will support their full human potential. Students deserve an educational system that helps us achieve this goal.
This latest salvo about dues collecting is designed as an attempt by the governor to weaken the largest union in our state, the teachers' union, so she can unilaterally force her reform agenda without listening to anyone except, perhaps, her corporate sponsors.
Isn't it ironic that she rails against collecting small amounts of voluntary union dues, but forgets about meeting behind closed doors with her rich contributors in a rented-for-the-weekend resort paid for by the Koch Brothers? These unlimited dollars, pooled from anonymous donors, go to shadowy organizations with sweet-sounding names, such as Americans for Puppies, that spend millions on election attack ads. They are coming soon to a TV near you.
The governor says, "bring it on." When she says that, I don't think she means, bring on the public discourse or bring on a balanced debate. I believe she means, bring on the fight for the future of our public education system and all public services. I believe she means, bring on the fight to destroy unions that protect workers' rights.
Unions welcome the public debate on the role of government in shaping the future of public education. But, instead of relying on the attack ad-filled local media to tell you what you should think, talk directly with the public employee-union member who maintains our parks, protect our streets, fight fires, or ensures our drinking water is safe. Find out what they believe about the direction of our state.
And, speak with a teacher, counselor, nurse or educational assistant about how to make our schools better. You entrust your children to these professionals (and union members) every day. I believe you will find common ground with them — more than with those who write and collect six-figure campaign checks.

OXFORD, Miss. – The Arkansas baseball team (29-19, 10-12 SEC) rallied back from an early deficit Friday evening on the road, but No. 10 Ole Miss (34-13, 14-8) held on for the 3-2 victory in the series-opener at Swayze Field.
Trailing 3-0 heading to the fifth inning, Arkansas put together some two-out magic when Eric Fisher and Bobby Wernes provided a pair of singles and Tyler Spoon came to the dish and delivered a two-strike triple to the gap in right center to plate two runs and make it 3-2.
The Razorbacks had chances to tie the game later in the fifth inning, but Arkansas left the bases loaded and stranded two more runners in scoring position in the sixth inning. Spoon's triple proved to be the last hit of the game for the Razorbacks, who dropped their 11th one-run game of the year.
Trey Killian continued to put together an impressive sophomore campaign, tossing his SEC-leading fourth complete game, allowing three runs on nine hits and striking out five. He has allowed three earned runs or less in eight of his 10 starts this season.
Fisher paced the offense with his seventh multi-hit game of the year to extend his hitting streak to six games, while Wernes added two hits and a run scored.
Game two of the series is set for Saturday afternoon at 2:15 p.m. and will be televised on Fox Sports Network and ESPN3.
For more information on Arkansas baseball, follow @RazorbackBSB on Twitter.
Game Notes
Trey Killian threw his SEC-leading 4th complete game this season. Three of those have come on the road and two of them against ranked opponents. Jake Wise threw out his SEC-leading 19th and 20th base stealers of the year. He has thrown out 50-percent of base stealers this season. Eric Fisher extended his hitting streak to a season-high six games. Arkansas moved 40-35 all-time against Ole Miss, including 19-15 in Oxford. The Razorbacks played their 17th one-run game of the year.
How They Scored
Arkansas 0, Ole Miss 1; Bottom 3: Auston Bousfield singled up the middle; Braxton Lee scored from second base. Arkansas 0, Ole Miss 2; Bottom 4: J.B. Woodman doubled to left center; Will Allan scored from second base. Arkansas 0, Ole Miss 3; Bottom 4: Will Jamison singled up the middle; J.B. Woodman scored from second base.

NWSB managing editor Q brings us his Love Em & Hate Em recap from Saturday night's game between the Portland Trail Blazers vs. Washington Wizards. Portland was 26 of 27 from the free-throw line and connected on its first 26 attempts until Raymond Felton missed one in the final minute.

Welts necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 48 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
We Need a logo with flair towards the traditional...that can be easily recognizable when used on letterhead, t-shirts, business cards & Vehicles or Large Print graphics...And conveys a commitment to professionalism in the Paintball & Airsoft Industry.
i recently saw a propaganda style logo that I thought had a strong feeling to it.. http://www.intothefuzz.com/2009/03/…ut-needed/ # 5 is the one.
Welts Paintball & Airsoft
Welts (Paintball & Airsoft) is a multi-faceted company involved in the Paintball & Airsoft industry. The company is brand New with no established image in the market. But we have Specific Divisions that a Unifying logo should represent as an individual Symbol.. those divisions include the following
Tournament Paintball
Millitary Simulation (Scenario) Paintball
Airsoft (Mil Sim)
Video Production
Graphic Design / Marketing
The use of the name in the logo should always contain Welts... but the Paintball & Airsoft does not have to be there...
We are looking for a logo that implies a great level of quality, commitment, and professionalism... We are not a bargain basement Paintball Store. But a high end Pro-shop feeding the needs of Paintball & Airsoft players and teams.
We not only sell and repair equipment, but we also hold training seminars for New & Experienced players on Marker Care,Tactics, Good Sportsmanship, and Team building...
We also assist teams in the creation of Banners & Marketing Materials.
As well we produce and distribute paintball related TV shows both in the US and in the International broadcast markets.
- A logo element the captures the essence or the commitment to professionalism.
- A Creative representation of a Welt would be interesting to see, or Professional elements with hints towards tradition.
- A logo that either represents all of the sub-divisions or with the changing of the sub-division text can unify the company.
- Due to the nature of sponsoring Paintball teams the logo must be clear and understandable when printed on a team jersey, Barrel Condom, or Hats
- I like the traditional look of a Coat of Arms... But cleaner and more professional..
- or a "constructivist propaganda" look would be nice
- We are not a Bargain Basement Shop !!
- No PRIMARY COLORS
- Cartoon styled Paintball Players
- ALL Text Logo, must have an image element.
- The sports market is 15-35 year olds but ours is the 25-45 year olds..

Saif al-Islam Muammar al-Gaddafi (born June 25, 1972, Arabic: سيف الإسلام معمر القذافي, translated as "Sword of Islam, Muammar of the Qaddafa"), is a Libyan engineer and politician. He is the second son of Muammar Gaddafi, leader of Libya, and his second wife Safia Farkash. He is a part of his father's inner circle, performing public relations and diplomatic roles on behalf of his father. He has been mentioned as a possible successor, though he has denied this.
In 1994, Saif al-Islam graduated with a BSc in Engineering Science from Tripoli's Al Fateh University, and earned an MBA from Vienna's IMADEC University in 2000.
His paintings made up the bulk of the international Libyan art exhibit, "The Desert Is Not Silent" (2002–2005), a show which was supported by a host of international corporations with direct ties to the Gaddafi regime.

Gorillas love kittens and destroy Grizzly bears. Lovers and fighters.
Boys, boys, BOYS.
Calm youselves. I have photographic evidence that will settle this once and for all.
Um yeah only in rock em cock em dream world would the care bear win.
Care bears? CARE BEARS? Grizzlies eat care bears for breakfast.
Why else would they bear such a close resemblance to lucky charms?
Has anyone seen the movie Congo? I've read the book, and I remember the toys that came out for the movie. But I've never seen it.
I just woke up from this one.
I was hanging out with one of my good friends, and I was still in school. I was trying to catch up on some schoolwork, because I had skipped every class. So all of a sudden, someone tells me "we are going camping, and you have to come. we leave in an hour." This person was a king or something, so I didn't have a choice. So we went camping (I was nowhere near ready) and somehow, in the middle of the night, I found myself in an elementary school similar to the one that I went to as a kid, but it was combined with a very large city. There were levels that you could climb to, and you'd all of a sudden be on top of another building. There were also helicopters that would tie a rope to you and dangle you over the city so that you could take pictures. I was too aftraid, and I sort of clung to the middle of the top of the building/level that I was already on. It was wobbly, and so I slowly moved to the next one. When I looked down, instead of seeing the levels below me, it was like looking from an airplane onto a city.
Someone (I don't know who. He was kind of like a game show host) kept trying to goad me to go higher and jump from level to level, and he pointed to the ground and said "Look, Hannah. The Sphinx. Haven't you always wanted to see the Sphinx from directly above?" and I HAD always wanted to, but I was too afraid to just hold on to the bottom of something that was flying so that I could. So I sort of inched my way to the edge, thinking that if I got a good picture I could fool the guy. But all I could get was a pic from an angle. Something I don't remember happened at one point, and I found myself climbing happily up to the highest levels and the highest buildings.
I fell a few levels/buildings, and ended up in a fifth grade classroom. The kids (unnaturally smart for fifth graders) were talking about all the sinister things that were going on behind the scenes of this school. I was sitting by the window, when a two year old toddled over and started to look out. I got a little nervous, so I braced my hands around her in case she started to fall. But instead she jumped right out the window on purpose. I grabbed at the space below the window, and felt my hand clamp around a little arm, breathing a huge sigh of relief. I pulled her back into the room, and started screaming at her. At one point, it became obvious to me that I was screaming at a glue bottle. You know. The clear blue kind with the wiggly edges and glitter in the glue. So I calmed down. And I noticed that the little girl was back by the window. I started to run over, but it was too late. I looked down on the ground ten stories below me, and I could see where she had landed. So I jumped out the window.
For some reason, because I jumped on purpose, I went at a nice speed and landed very softly on the ground. I walked over to where she had landed, and I picked up a limp clear plastic noodly-thing. In the dream, it made perfect sense to me that this was what the girl had turned into when she hit the ground. So I held the noodle in my hands, crying and saying "Please. Oh please be alive". I felt the noodle tense up, and the ends twitched a little bit. I was relieved, and I put the noodle/little girl in my pocket so that she would make it back safely.
I had to get back into the building, but the only entrance I could find let me into the basement, where a series of vents and tubes connected to various other rooms and hallways. I couldn't just take the main staircases, naturally, because aforementioned sinister business was going on in them. There was one man that saw me, and he was moving a bunch of stuff, but I knew that when he was done, he was going to come after me. So I found myself being chased through the catacombs of an elementary school. Every once in a while, I'd see a manhole cover on the ceiling or something and I'd lift it to see where I was. Because of course, there'd be dozens of manhole covers in an elementary school.
So eventually, I found a wall vent that led to a gym. I was the only person in the entire lower levels of the school, other than the guy in the jumpsuit who was chasing me. So I ran from the gym into another hallway, then into another vent, and another staircase, and eventually, I found myself at a set of glass doors on one side of the school office. I started banging on the doors so that they would unlock them, but I couldn't say anything because I knew that he would hear me. So I kept banging on the door and making "help me, help me" faces at the receptionists, who kept looking at each other and back at me, puzzled. Then, I pushed on the door and realized it had already been unlocked. So I went through those doors and back through another set.
I found myself in a first grade hallway, so I had to keep running. Then a second, then a third, then a fourth. At one point or another, I stopped to exchange pleasantries with a teacher of mine from high school. But I finally found the fifth grade classroom. What used to be the level at the very top of the school was now just right across the blacktop. So I ran there, but when I got there I realized that all the kids had been locked outside. A little girl told me that someone she knew was being arrested inside the classroom.
Then I woke up.
Great dream. I've gotta get some drugs from you guys, or is all this due to too much TV exposure.
I don't watch much TV, and I don't do drugs. Often.
I'd think that too much TV would dull your dreams, not boost them.
I sense a lot of negativity from that post. Its a dream primarily about falling and heights which is common. This could mean fear of failure, loss power and possibly feeling out of control. Are you very anxious about something.
I'm not. Nice try, though.
Got me stumped then.....now are you sure its not eating cheese before bed or too much TV?
Not everything has to mean something.
Clarky123 just wants to flex his e-muscle.
Every time someone "analyzes" a dream, they spew out all sorts of general things that could apply to anyone. People tend to only notice what is true, and think that the analyzer is a genius of some kind.
This is how pet psychics happen, people.
You will know when I stick it in limey. Why do you have to be a dick to hannah for sharing something positive.
read the thread son - I was making a non-swearing non-aggressive contribution. Unlike some on these pages. Think on...
I dream about zombies alot. Like I am in the middle of 28 days later. One morning I woke up and seriously believed that if I turned the tv on I would see all kinds of carnage and I didnt want to go to work because the zombies would get me. And this was after I woke up thats how fucked up my dream was.
I have noticed that since I stopped smoking (about 2 years now) I have really had intense dreams. I read that pot keeps you from hitting that REM sleep where you have real crazy dreams and so you dont get them or dont remember them. But now I do.
In my dream last night I was jumping from mountaintop to mountaintop amidst the cloud and all the sudden I'm transported to the middle of a dense forest, with a small clearing. When i look at the clearing i see my dad, and I'm saying something to him but it fails to make him move from what hes sitting on. I remember seeing his face, it's half robotic and hes completely stoic. I woke up shortly after i was screaming at him.

I just woke up from my dream and decided to post it here, lol. Anyway, I was on this crowded train with one of my coworkers, and all of a sudden I see Hannahrain. We were talking for a while then she just got up and jumped out of the train. So I got off the train and got into this drag-race car and it wouldnt start.
I did NOT make this up hahahah. It's pretty weird actually, I stopped having Hannahrain dreams months ago.
I had a dream about him last night
Well, thunder only happens when it's raining.
Last week I had this recurring phenomenon in my dreams for three nights straight that I like to call "a bookbag full of acid." I almost never remember my dreams, but somewhere in the course of the normal boring dreams on Monday somebody walked up, handed me a bookbag full of sheets of acid and stuffed half a sheet in my mouth. At first I was a little bit worried that 50 hits might be too much and took it out of my mouth, then decided that I might as well go for it and put it back in.
The next couple nights my boring dreams kept getting interrupted and therefore remembered when in my dream I recalled this bookbag I was supposed to have. Like a miracle, someone would show up with it out of nowhere and I'd start going to town.
I also had a dream that there were people in Southern California who didn't suck, but even in my dream I knew it couldn't make sense.
yesterday am I was sleeping in and had a dream that one of the IT guys at my company showed me a log of all the web pages I visit while at work. the coachella.com/forum/* came up over a thousand times. god I was embarassed.
I've been told that they don't track web usage at my company. but I clearly still worry about it.
same dream I hooked up with an old friend I recently met again. she's a lot more attractive than I remember her being, which is probably why I dreamt about her. that was a much more pleasnt part of the dream. :-)

Hey guys, I have a question for you.
I'm gonna help set up a T1 at my grandpas business, and I was wondering if there was some sort of software out there that would monitor things such as Number of phones on line, and number of active ccomputer connections. What I need this software to do, is continually give the most available bandwith to the computers, but when more phones come on, then it needs to direct more bandwith for the phones. You see what I'm saying?
When theres not that many phones being used I want more data throughput for the computer, but when theres more phones on, I need more throughput for the phones. Is that possible?

Ali Othman became responsible for the Baba Amr media center, the most active in Syria, and devoted himself to filming the military offensive and to promoting his own and his colleagues' recordings so the world could see what was happening in Homs. And he was arrested as such on Wednesday the 28th in the city of Aleppo, where he had gone fleeing the capital of the Syrian revolt: according to his colleagues, "he is being put through the worst kinds of torture since his arrest". "We, the members of the media center, call on all NGOs, as well as the Federation of Arab Journalists and the United Nations to act immediately and save the life of journalist and activist Ali Othman. We hold Assad's regime fully responsible of any harm caused to him", reads a press release from the Baba Amr information center.
http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=bwrMk7rrG5A&feature=player_embedded
Ali's name was changed to Eyyed in the article The eyes of the revolution to protect his true identity– like the other Syrian activists, he did not want to give his true name fearing arrest. This 34 year old fruit salesman, born in Baba Amr, married and with five small children, decided to stay in Homs' martyr neighborhood even when the troops of the Syrian Army's 4th Division entered the neighborhood in February, after almost a month of constant bombings. He turned down the escape routes used by his colleagues as well as a significant part of the civilian population and the Free Syrian Army fighters due to his convictions. "How can I go when there are people who cannot leave the neighborhood? If they stay, I stay. Somebody needs to witness what is happening", he argued during the last conversation we had, via Skype, hours before the fall of the neighborhood. Leer más
