Definition of Crazy
Ok, Webster's definition of being crazy is this Crazy and judging from one of those definitions, I may have been crazy for a bit.
I had just finished my lunch, a spaghetti with mushroom sauce and grilled asparagus. It was pretty good and decided to watch some TV and do some knitting before I had to get back to work. About 20 minutes later, I started itching near my neck and head and was starting to feel flushed. Then my hands, more specifically, the tips of all my fingers started to hurt. Really hurt. My hands were starting to blow up and it was probably due to my fingernails being attached that it stopped growing, which probably explains why I was in so much pain.
I told my co-worker about how I feel and she could see something was happening to me. I took some Benedryl figuring that I was most likely having an allergic reaction to my lunch. I told her that I'll wait to see if the Benedryl takes effect. I might go into the ER if it gets worse. It wasn't, so I went upstairs to see my supervisor, but she wasn't there, having left for the day. So I saw the Lead Tech and told her what was happening and that I had to go to the ER.
The ER is actually very close and only took me seconds to get to. I guess that's one advantage for working at my job, walking distance for emergency situations. I was accepted and shortly saw a doctor. She agreed that I was having an allergic reaction and we discussed what medicines to use and how it's administered. I went with the IV over oral, because I didn't want to have to wait for it to go through my stomach and needles do not scare me.
Once the IV was put in, there was nothing for me to do, so I looked up at the blank TV screen. I really wished I have telekinesis so I could turn it on, but I didn't, so i just started at a blank screen. i looked down at my hand with the IV and noticed the tube was red. How strange, that shouldn't be red, I wondered. I was bleeding to death and it was kinda cool. when did I get so emo all of a sudden? The nurse saw the blood. Actually, what she saw was my bloody clothes. I didn't notice it, because it was covered by my arm. I only notice what looked like a crime scene, when I raised my arm so she could put a lock onto my IV and my hospital gown was changed. I'm really glad I didn't have to clean that bloody mess!
Now with the lock on my IV, I was given my medication. So I waited...
and waited...
and waited...
and waited...
We were waiting for my body to respond to the medication. If I didn't get better (Hi Dan Savage, LOVE you and your Podcast!), I would have to be given another medicine that was more aggressive.
So I waited...
My body finally showed some reaction, by hurting less. That's a good sign right? That if feeling hurt was bad, feeling that same pain less (it's all relative) means that I'm getting better right?
So I waited...
The nurses and doctor checked in on me several times and I was able to tell them how I felt. About the third check in, the effects were starting to show on my face. Sheesh, I always thought I was transparent. Now it's certified in a hospital!
I eventually got better and had the IV taken out. I was given a prescription for more medicine to continue my healing, but because of the timing, everything was closed. Seattle really can be a small town sometimes, where everything closes after 7PM! So I'll have to get my medication tomorrow.
I go back to work and try to do as much as possible with what little time I had left before having to clock out.
At home, I spoke with my boyfriend and he's going to see what medicines he can get from Costco. I know it's overkill, but half the medicines I need, were over the counter and it will be better for me to have extra during the allergy season.
What really surprises me, is that while I was at times scared and freaked out, I was remarkably calm. I was able to detach a part of me. It was that separate part of me, that assessd the situation, that walked me through the halls, to talk to the necessary people, tell them what I was going through in a manner and tone of voice that helped these people help me! When I was bleeding out, I didn't freak out for this same reason. Maybe this is like being bipolar, it just wasn't hurting others, but in fact, was able to help the situation to a better outcome.
So yeah, I was crazy today.
Now, good night.

7 lbs 2 oz
19" long
This is long overdue. Zander is almost 1 month old now and has been such a joy to have in our home.
Zanders actual due date was October 17, one week later than Zander was born. We had a C-section scheduled since there were some complications last time, and it was looking like the same thing again this time.
The night before Zander was born. 39 weeks.
We got to the hospital at 5:30 for the C-section scheduled at 7:30 am. The doctor ended up being a little late and we couldn't start until 8:45. I had been scared about being cut open again, the IV, the needles and all of that, but it was so early that I was mostly focused on how tired I was. When we found out the delivery was moved back I got really nervous. I had received a blessing from Darrik the night before, so I knew everything was going to be okay, but it was still a scary thing for me.
The nurse came in around 6:30 to put my IV in and I'm not even joking, this was the most painful part. She put it in the top of my hand and once it was in she had to wiggle it around A LOT to get the blood to come out enough to fill two vials. I am a huge baby when it comes to this sort of thing and I almost passed out. They had to put me on oxygen because I was so light-headed. It really did hurt so bad.
We got into the operating room at 8:30. I received my spinal shot about 8:40. I was scared for this, but I barely felt it, and then I felt nothing. That was nice.
The doctor came in at 8:45 to start and Zander was born at 8:57. 12 min later. I could feel pressure on my abdomen, pulling, and tugging and the doctor said, "he's almost out." shortly after that I heard him cry for the first time. A cry I have never heard, but yet I knew was my baby. He was out, he was okay, he was crying like he was supposed to. I couldn't help it, I just started bawling uncontrollably (and I'm crying now). I could feel this incredible love for this child that I've never met, but I knew him.
They held him up over the sheet and I saw my bald baby boy for the first time. He was perfect, and so tiny. My second little red head.
Zander is such a good baby. I am so blessed with angel babies. I really feel undeserving, but it's true. Brock slept about 7 hours the first night in the hospital and did every night since then and Zander is just following suit. Zander ate that first night at 9:30 and finished around 10:15, and I sent him to the nursery so I could sleep for a little while. Then promptly at 1:00 am, the nurse bright him to me and said, "he's hungry mom!" I cuddled him and gave him his binky and he fell immediately back to sleep and didn't wake up until about 5 am. He has kept this routine for the past two weeks. Last feeding around 9 or 10, and then sleeping until at least 5:00, sometimes later. I think being able to get some good rest is how I've been able to recover so quickly. So thanks Zander!
He is also eating like a champ. He latched on great the first time and just went to town like no body's business. He was already back up to his birth weight by his 5 day after the hospital checkup, actually 7 lbs 3 oz, so am ounce more than birth weight. So the doctor gave me permission to let him sleep as long as he does since he is still gaining good weight.
Zander brought Brock a toy, a Buzz Lightyear!! Brock thought his new brother was pretty cool. Brock really loves his little brother, almost too much. He is a big helper and always wants to do things for him. Every time Brock hears Zander cry he will run to where ever he is and on his way say, 'I'm coming Z, I help you.' He is also a stinker and probably feeling left out. He's been acting up a lot more. Yanking Zander's binky out and throwing it across the room, or poking his soft spot. It's been fun and also a challenge trying to help him adjust to a new brother. I know they will be best buds. Brock says things every day about helping Zander grow up to be big and strong like him so they can play. He always wants to show him to everyone and ask them if they want to touch his brother. He says about a hundred times a day, 'he's so cute!' It's really sweet.
He has slept a lot these last two weeks, as new borns do. When he is awake he just looks around the room, just content. He fusses a little when he's hungry. On occasion, he'll get pretty mad if I'm taking my time getting to him to feed him, but he can be calmed down with his binky pretty well.
In his car seat for the first time to go home. Paige made this cool car seat blanket. It has holes in it so the car seat straps can go through it. It's a clover shape so you can wrap him up tight. I love it.
There were lots of crazy people at the hospital to see Zander for the first time. We really appreciate the visitors.
Zander's name sake. This is my dad, Scott. We gave Zander his name for a middle name.
Thanks for coming to share this special time with us. It was really nice to have visitors at the hospital. I was there for 4 days and Darrik only took one day off of work. So I got lonely and kind of bored. You would think that I would have got this blog post done sooner, but I did take advantage of some good sleep time.
Welcome to the world little Z. You are loved very much, by so many people. We can't wait to watch you grow and develop. We love you so much.
Thanks for all the help we've received. We have had so many meals, help with Brock, help with my housework, presents, diapers, clothes, toys, treats. We are truly blessed. Thank you for your generosity. It really means a lot to us.
Love you Z!

In ancient Asgard a realm of the nine
Stands Valhalla Hall where dwell the host divine
Here one eyed Odin reigns
The knowledge of worlds his domain
Freyja cloaked in feathers never one to yield
Gathers fallen warriors to place upon her field
Relentless he pursues his foes of old
Vengence his companion leaves Thor cold
Loki with his doom brings tragedy and spite
When he aids to kill Baldr beloved god of light
Iounn who grants eternal youth to a chosen few
By the sharing of her apples their life is made anew
Skaoi icy goddess vengeful and alone
Lives in winter mountains heart as cold as stone
Frigg who knows the future but doomed to tell no one
Unable to stop the slaying of her favoured son
Freyr bringing peace and plenty to humanity
Famed throughout the lands for his fertility
Powerful Njoror lord of sea's and prince of men
A hostage to the gods to return at "The doom of men"
As Frigg had foreseen and knew what would pass
The giants of Jotnar would come at last
The years counted down Ragnorak was at hand
The god's of old will soon fall across the land
The Jotnar with their monsters came at last to play
Fenrir the wolf, Jormungander the serpent would rule the day
The sun became black while the earth sank into the sea
The god's of old ceased to be

Feast of St. Andrew, the Apostle
Rom 10:9-18 / Mt 4:18-22
There is something in us human beings that inclines us time after time to define one another as either insiders or outsiders. Sometimes the distinction is racial or ethnic, sometimes it's religious, sometimes the dividing line is economic or educational or political, or slave versus free. But whatever the cause, the lines are always there and firmly drawn. This kind of thinking has even invaded the Church at times. It was not until 1839 that a pope definitively condemned slavery. It was not until the end of Vatican Council II that the Church finally rejected the idea that there could be no salvation outside its boundaries.
St. Paul rejected that kind of thinking 2000 years ago, as we hear in today's epistle. "There is no difference between Jew and Greek; all have the same Lord, rich in mercy to all who call upon Him." It certainly does take a long time for that truth to trickle down to the rest of us! Yet the words of Jesus in the Gospels are full of that very insight. It makes us wonder how much of the rest of Jesus' message we may have been missing!
Jesus asks us to look at one another — without exception — through God's eyes, and to see in each human being either a brother or a sister, a beloved child of God like ourselves, a stumbling wayfarer very much like ourselves. He asks us to extend to each of God's children the same compassion which God our Father extends to us every day without fail.
How can we say no? Very simply, we cannot!

As a growing number of homes contain more than one computer, their users must find ways to network them. The primary purpose for creating a home network tends to be to provide Internet access to all computers within the house. There are other good reasons, however. These include enabling LAN gaming, data backups from one machine to another and the sharing of music within the home.
1m Scan Yellow Cat 5e Snagless Moulded Patch Lead is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 5 out of 5 by jcsp from Truly excellent product When I received an email asking me to write a review of this product, at first I was skeptical. "A network cable?" I thought, "but surely there's nothing to say?". I couldn't have been more wrong. Since I installed this 1m Scan Yellow Cat 5e Snagless Moulded Patch Lead in my home office, the warmth of the yellow colour has brought a little extra sunshine to each day. Over time, this has changed my outlook on life, and opened my mind to all this wonderful world has to offer, especially the ongoing pleasure of Category 5e network cabling. Let me pause for a moment to say a word about the length. One metre: it doesn't sound like a lot, but when you've got to get that data from A to B, and the servers are approximately 45cm apart, it's just what you need. Not so short as to be tense, not so long as to cause a mess. With just a short loop to take up the slack, the one metre cable leads to a harmonious and well groomed environment. Finally, the part that I know all discerning consumers will pay close attention to: this is a snagless cable. Ethernet cable clips can cause untold heartache, as that brittle and mournful crack signals yet another cable consigned to semi-usefulness. The soul is troubled a little by discarding a trusty conduit of information, but how many times can you plug it back in again before the tedium overwhelms your inner child and consigns you to a cold life of irritable loneliness? Snagless cables save you from this fate, and allow your good friend 1m Scan Yellow Cat 5e Snagless Moulded Patch Lead to continue to serve you through the years, as you both grow older and learn to look back and smile at your earlier naive years of flirtation with easily snapped cable clips. In conclusion, if you do one thing today, buy 1m Scan Yellow Cat 5e Snagless Moulded Patch Lead: you won't regret it.

Erickson reaches milestone in victory
Tamarac junior surpasses the 1,000-point plateau
Published 11:47 pm, Friday, February 1, 2013
TROY — Tamarac girls' basketball standout Jenna Erickson doesn't enjoy the spotlight.
But in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter of the Bengals' 71-36 Wasaren League rout of visiting Hoosick Falls, that light shone bright on the junior guard with good reason.
Erickson was removed from Friday's game, and in between a pair of Hoosick Falls free throws, she was handed the game ball and honored for recording her 1,000th career point.
"I'm really excited," Erickson said, "but it's all about the win."
"She's so classy," Tamarac coach Eric Medved said. "She doesn't want to have the spotlight ... she's very unselfish."
Erickson reached the milestone on a 3-pointer that started the scoring in the third quarter and helped pull Tamarac to within two points of the Panthers.
On Tamarac's next possession, Erickson found junior Adiya Henderson down low for a bucket that leveled the game for the final time, 27-27, erasing the Panthers' five-point halftime lead.
"We were pretty patient on offense," said Erickson, who led all scorers with 25 points. "We started moving the ball well."
Tamarac made significant adjustments at halftime, most notably at the defensive end.
"We changed defenses at halftime," Medved said of switching from man-to-man to zone. "The idea was to change the tempo."
Tamarac outscored the visitors 33-3 in the decisive third quarter, recording nine steals and creating plenty of offense off of those takeaways.
"Our defense predicates our offense," Medved said. "Our defense got so many steals and that contributed to our offense."
"We came out really strong on defense," Erickson said. "We all worked together and communicated."
Tamarac went on to string together a 12-0 run to start the fourth and coasted from there.
Frankie Pearson and Rachel Pine scored 11 points apiece to pace the Panthers (10-5, 8-4).
Henderson and Erickson each recorded double-doubles. Henderson scored 14 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and Erickson made 12 steals and dished out six assists. Briana Matazinsky chipped in 11 points for the Bengals (15-1, 10-1).
Friday's game marked the second convincing win for Tamarac in a week. The Bengals bested Hoosic Valley on Jan. 25.
"Those two games were a big motivational push for us," Henderson said.

Being shot was price of democracy: Breivik victim
- Reuters
- Wired World
- 23 May 2012 (South Africa)
Mass killer Anders Behring Breivik is a "cowardly little man," one of his teenage victims said on Wednesday, after showing a court the scars left by four bullets that had pierced her body.
Ylva Helene Schwenke, 15, described how Breivik had shot her in the neck and then several more times as she lay bleeding on the floor, declaring the bullets she was hit with a price worth paying for democracy.
"He is a cowardly little man, really," Schwenke told reporters after her testimony. "He shoots a 14-year old girl from behind then shoots me twice in the leg; that's the most cowardly thing I've ever heard."
Showing the court the extensive scars that still cover much of her body, she said:
"I have no problem showing my scars, I look at them as a symbol of victory. We have to pay a price for democracy but we won."
One of Breivik's youngest victims and the stepdaughter of Roger Ingebrigtsen, the deputy defence minister, Schwenke wore her wavy brown hair cut short enough to expose the scars on her neck, shoulder and throat.
"I may not be proud of these scars but I wear them with dignity," she said.
Breivik killed 77 people on July 22, first detonating a car bomb outside government headquarters and killing eight, then gunning down 69 people, mostly teenagers, at the ruling Labour Party's summer camp on Utoeya Island.
Though he admits the killings, he denies criminal guilt, saying his victims were political activists and traitors, whose support for Muslim immigration was diluting Norwegian ethnic purity.
Norway has kept remarkably calm throughout the 10-week trial. Most agree that even a monster must be given a fair hearing and that changing Norway's judicial system for one man would threaten the very democracy that Breivik wanted to destroy.
The court's main task is to decide whether Breivik was sane and whether he should be sent to jail or a psychiatric institution.
One court-appointed team of psychiatrists concluded he was psychotic, but a second team came to the opposite conclusion. The five judges hearing the case will take a final decision on his sanity at the end of the trial, expected in late June.
If deemed sane, Breivik faces a 21-year jail sentence which could be indefinitely extended for as long as he is considered dangerous.
Breivik has said he should either be executed or acquitted, calling the prospect of a prison sentence "pathetic". If he were to be declared insane, he has said that would be "worse than death". DM

PARIS, Sept. 20, 2016 /CNW/ - Today Kérastase, a worldwide leader in professional luxury haircare, unveils its new institutional campaign and brand promise "Very Personal Care for Exceptional Hair", marking the relaunch of the iconic brand and reaffirming its commitment to meeting women's diverse hair and scalp needs by providing them with ultra-personalized solutions.

Because women today see their hair as an intimate expression of their identity, Kérastase worked hand-in-hand with legendary portrait photographer Peter Lindbergh to capture this new focus of personalization. Through his lens, new brand heroines are revealed, each of them caught in a personal, stolen moment of determination, joy or satisfaction. Three, strong, engaged women: activists and supermodels Toni Garrn and Cameron Russell, and photographer, writer, and stylist Margaret Zhang, illustrate how hair is an intimate expression of one's identity, revealing moods and emotions.
"I think that hair is an extension of your personality", says Margaret Zhang. "Your hair says even more about your personality and your character than your clothes do."
"Hair needs to be taken care of in the most special and healthy way. That is what 'very personal care' means to me," says Toni Garrn. "I truly believe that Kérastase gives women beautiful, healthy hair, which is why I'm genuinely excited to be working with them."
This new visual campaign is the starting point of the brand's reinvention to support the new "very personal care" mission. In order to bring women their most beautiful, healthy hair, Kérastase continues to push the limits of personalization:
"Very Personal Care for Exceptional Hair," defines a new standard of excellence where bespoke is the new luxury and the art of personalization is the Kérastase signature.

Napoli have taken a swipe at Manchester City after securing Edinson Cavani to a new contract.
The club made the announcement at a press conference on Friday where flamboyant president Aurelio De Laurentiis initially made out that Cavani was moving to Manchester City.
"At times marriages come to an end. Unfortunately Edi wants to go to England, to that cold city of Manchester, and there's a plane ready to take him there," said De Laurentiis as he sat alongside a giggling Cavani.
Cavani then signed his new Napoli deal in front of the media.
"I thank the president who has believed in me and enabled me to remain in this amazing city," the 25-year-old striker said.
"Every time I go out on the pitch I want to win. That's my mentality and that of the team."

Cllr John Crosse pointed out that Cllr Crowe has been successful at seven elections.
"This is truly a remarkable achievement and one which is unequalled in the history of the council.

Live Out Loud
- Artist: Michael Francis Hughes
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 3/3/2009
|your cart is empty
'Seldom Have I heard a CD with so many fine songs, even less seldom so many fine songs written by one artist. You can't help but be moved by Mike Hughes' Herb Gart: publisher of Don McLean's AMERICAN PIE, Even though Michael Francis Hughes has been writing songs and making music for a long time, LIVE OUT LOUD is his first CD. Early reviews indicate it was worth the wait. The love of music started with the great songs, from the Gay 90's to Tin Pan Alley, the Brill Building to Liverpool, the British invasion to the Laurel Canyon and most recently Nashville. Michael is a McCartney trained melody guy. The songs have hooks that catch on quickly and have intelligent lyrics that say something and stay on point. The award winning writer he has had several songs cut by other artists. His vocal session work can be heard on April Wine, The Nighthawks and the new Soraia record. He's been seen over the years in the Mid Atlantic from the Chesapeake Bay to his roots in Levittown and Bristol as well as Philadelphia and the New Jersey shore. A BMI writer and longtime NSAI member, Michael makes frequent trips to Nashville pitching, performing and appearing at the Sunday Writer Night show at the famous Bluebird Café. He was a finalist in the first Philly Rising Series at the World Café Live. Expect to hear him soon on WXPN via Helen Leight's Philly Local show and perhaps next on NPR's World Café with David Dye.

Are you over your holiday hangover yet? We're not — and seeing all of the fun Fourth of July shots from our favorite celebrities make coming back to work that much more difficult.
And why wouldn't it? Celebs like Beyoncé used Tumblr, Instagram and Twitter to show off their holiday spirit. But it was Kendall Jenner and Taylor Swift who really made us jealous: The pair each gave us a glimpse inside their raucous celebrations — complete with plenty of party photos.
"Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays of the year," Swift wrote on her blog post, which showed off over a dozen shots of the "Red" singer in her high-waisted bikini and patriotic face paint.
She continued: "This time around, my touring family joined me at the beach and I wanted to show you some of the pictures because you're the reason we all get to be on tour together. You've seen us all in our show costumes on the Red Tour... Here's what we all look like in RED, white, and blue:)."
Aspiring model Jenner also tweeted about her "amazing fourth" — and she really got into the spirit with an American flag bikini and ball cap, topped off with acid-wash jean shorts.
No one celebrated the Fourth of July better than German transplant Heidi Klum, though. The America's Got Talent judge showed off her patriotism — and her bum — on Instagram.
"Ouch," she wrote on the shot of her sunburn.
Who had the better Fourth of July bikini: Kendall Jenner or Taylor Swift? Sound off below!

Thorne Head Preserve Bath Reviews
581 reviews
Thorne Head Preserve Feb 21, 2008
If you need to stretch your legs around Bath, Maine, Thorne Head Preserve is a little known, but charming, option. There's pretty much a single trail that winds through mixed woods and fresh water marshes to Thorne's Head...at most its a half mile either way. There are splendid views of Merrymeeting Bay at the "Chops" when you reach the end, though it has grown up a bit and the scope is narrower than years ago when I took my dog for walks here.
I'm sure it remains stunning in the fall though, and when winter arrives the view should be fully open once again --- the Bay is lovely when ice chunks pile up here.
Just take High Street north to the bitter end. Don't worry when the road turns into a single lane and finally dirt...you are headed the right way!

Mitt Romney, as Massachusetts Governor in 2006, refused to distribute his state's copious emergency funds to Lowell city residents who had lost their homes to "the great Mother's Day floods of 2006," as Esquire's Charles P. Pierce reports:
The right-leaning Lowell Sun was particularly displeased.
We find it inconceivable that Gov. Mitt Romney claims the state can do nothing to help those residents still struggling to rebuild homes and businesses after the May flood. Massachusetts is sitting on millions in unspent emergency funds from Hurricane Katrina and more than $1 billion in cash reserves, yet Romney has failed to even respond to the Lowell delegation's requests to discuss additional aid for victims. The governor's spokesman — since Romney can't be bothered to comment now that the photo opportunities have dried up even though some residents' basements haven't — said the state will not consider spending its own money for flood victims until it's clear how much cash the federal government will give.
A local online news site reported the scene like this:
Crews floated boats down flooded streets to rescue people trapped in their homes, overflowing pipes spewed sewage into streets and rivers and hundreds fled homes and businesses Monday as New England braced for its worst flooding since the 1930s.
The flood waters overwhelmed sewage systems and drowned waste water treatment plants. Burst pipes in Haverhill have been dumping 35 million gallons of waste a day since Sunday into the Merrimack River. And the flood at a regional treatment plant in Lawrence was threatening to shut down the power there, which would send sewage into the Merrimack at a rate of 115 million gallons a day.
"This is a level of crisis which is beyond anything these communities have ever experienced from water in their history," Gov. Mitt Romney said Monday.
"It's going to get worse before it gets better," Romney said.
Romney then went on "Good Morning America" and "described the flooding as 'almost Biblical' and said 'We're sort of making jokes about Noah and taking two of each kind of animal because we haven't ever seen rain like this'," according to Wikipedia.
And then his PR stunt show was over.
Reporting that "abdicating on government flood relief was one of the first steps" Romney took to paint himself as, well, a "severely conservative Governor" — to quote Mitt himself — Esquire's Pierce, a constituent of then-Governor Romney, adds that Mitt "pretty much had given up his job as governor and was gearing up for the seven-year run at the presidency that will climax, one way or the other, next Tuesday night."
Imploring readers his Esquire readers to "trust us," Pierce — whose report is laced with other ugliness about Governor Flip Flop — closes with this intimate assessment:
"We know this guy. There's a reason why he's going to lose this state by more than 20 points. The only thing about him that you can depend on is that there's never any room in the lifeboat for The Help."
For more local color, consider this from a right-wing local Massachusetts blogger, writing about the flood and Romney's response, dated May 17, 2006:
Our elected officials are on the front line, and their mettle is on the line now too. We were pleased with first impressions, but all too soon our Republican Massachusetts leaders of choice revealed their feet of clay. We caught Lieutenant Governor Healey saying something to the effect that this sort of thing would be common now, given global warming.
At the same time, the man who would be Leader of the Free World — Oh, sweet Mitt of life, at last I've found you? — played a most disagreeable disgrace card on "Good Morning America" with the silken, fawning Diane Sawyer:
"We're continuing to be very, very careful and going through our neighborhoods, securing them, and making sure there is no looting of any kind," Romney added.
The remarks puzzled local officials, who reported no incidents of looting in the Bay State, New Hampshire or Maine, and prompted experts to question if Romney was raising red flags for no reason — or for political reasons.
Politics are the way of the world, but without knowing anything more about it, this one left a bad taste in our fiercely independent New England, home-rule mouth. We aren't like those folks down yonder in New Orleans, our local-pride first response told us. Mitt owes us more respect. Kerry Healey, too. We weren't born yesterday.
Nor were we.

Master Gardener helps with Midland's difficult growing conditions
Published 5:52 pm, Thursday, January 9, 2014
Temperature variations, strong winds and lack of rainfall might put a damper on some West Texas lawns and gardens.
But local gardeners say it's possible to keep an attractive garden — it's all about putting the right plant in the right place.
The Permian Basin Master Gardener program starts this month with the aim of educating and training a new class of aspiring planters in the ways of lawn care, botany, soil management and vegetable gardening.
The program will hold an orientation session 9 a.m. Saturday at the Midland County Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office, 2445 Business 20.
Classes — held on the third Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. — run Jan. 18 and through Oct. 18 at the Commemorative Air Force's museum classroom, according to Permian Basin Master Gardener Vice President Jim Blischke.
The program costs $250 for materials and training sessions and requires 60 hours of classroom instruction and 60 hours of volunteer time for Master Gardener certification.
"The goal of all of this is to not just teach people how to have a better garden for a nice yard but also to teach folks so that knowledge can be passed onto to other people," Blischke said. "We encourage them to be active in their neighborhoods."
The Permian Basin program, which started in 1990, has about 150 active members, and 30 people have expressed interest in this year's training so far, Blischke said.
Gardening in West Texas can be difficult; the temperature variation can be severe, and the wind causes evaporation, which magnifies the heat, he said.
"They say there are two seasons in Midland: winter and summer. And sometimes they fall on the same day," Blischke said.
Still, Master Gardener classes teach gardeners how to deal with the weather with a focus on water conservation.
"We're trying to teach people how to have an attractive yard, vegetable garden and blooming plants around here," he said. "There are a lot of plants that do very well."

It turns out that Iowahawk isn't the only gifted satirist in the conservative community. Zombie's got the goods on O'Donnell (satirically, of course).
It's all Hollows Eve or some such. The Witcher, the Witch Blade, and the (Left4Dead) Witch are in full force out.
Amongst political defectors from the Left, which I would include Book and Neo-Neocon as two I can name off the top of my head, there is much dissatisfaction and anger at the Obama Regime.Which I consider justified and reasonable, in these circumstances.
The thing I wish to note is that I felt a similar phase transition or plethora of emotional reactions, but this was years ago. I worked through them mostly in private. Although there were some specific individuals who shared my sentiments on the net, they were nowhere near a community of folk.
As of the last few months, even if you simply include the members of this blog, people were not dealing with such feelings after years of contemplation and review. They were dealing with it like it happened yesterday. Which it did, in fact, for the people involved.
This seems an interesting setting to me. It is so in this respect. The core reason why anger becomes unstable to handle is that the person feeling angry does not immediately recognize or accept the core reason they are angry. They know what made them angry, the loose chain of events that brought them to this place of being, but they have not yet been given the time to truly analyze and break apart their reactions to the actions of others. There is this fuantei feeling, this feeling of instability and insecurity, combined on top of a clear recognition of a threat. Finding one's center becomes important, yet unreachable given that the new feelings and outrages arrive one after the other, before you become at peace with yourself.
In the months after the election of Obama, I detected some of it. A dissatisfaction, if you will. But after the healthcare debacle and vote, I detected more of it. Much more. Because it was one thing after another. If it wasn't the bowing, it was flying over New York in an unidentified private jet. If it wasn't bowing to dictators, it was calling police officers racists. If it wasn't destroying race relations, it was pardoning Black Panthers and increasing voter intimidation. If it wasn't SEIU thugs shaking down conservative blacks, it was Obama nationalizing car industries and private dealerships, taking from them to give to Obama's cronies. It went on and on and eventually people, even those who didn't wish to, started to give in and realize that Obama wasn't making mistakes. Something else was going on. Something they didn't want to contemplate but their love of family and country required them to do so.
My recommendation to those people was very simple. I wrote various comments on this blog to focus on goals and using methods to defeat the Left. In this fashion those who are too angry or frustrated to find peace within, can find peace without by focusing their energies on a goal. The Tea Party, you could say, is a perfect example of such. People wanted results, yes, but at the same time, they wanted to share their experiences with others and relieve the frustration of simply sitting and letting political events float their boat wherever Obama chose.
I hear that there's some kind of election coming up (heh) concerning an important facet of national politics in this nation. And before it was over, I wanted to express one thing. A core principle, the reason why I figured why I was angry was this. Certain people in America play by rules. To use the analogy of a line, you don't cut in line and if you wish to save a spot, usually it's polite to limit it to one person. Some exceptions are perhaps allowed for families. But when people cut in line, without an adequate justification, people get angry. Usually the ones behind the cut get angry. It's because of two things really.
1. You obey rules because it is of mutual benefit for the group. If everyone obeys the rules, then it benefits everyone. But if you obey the rules and another person in the group cheats, then they get the benefit and the rest of you lose out.
2. Part of the reason why people get angry at line cutters is also because the line cutter only works because the rest of the line obeys the rules. Otherwise, the people behind can simply come up in front. And the people in front, now in the back, can then cut in the front again. It becomes an endless cycle of waste.
Obama essentially has put himself at the head of the line, and every one of his friends, family members, associates, cronies, and anyone else who can butter him up is allowed to get behind him. This lengthens and puts pressure on the rest of the line, especially those people who had been waiting patiently in the back. The thing is, he didn't just do this once, he is constantly doing this. He is doing it so often that the people in the back, ARE NOT MOVING FORWARD. The line is moving, yes. But only for people that Obama decides is right.
Why wouldn't someone become angry at cheaters who don't play by the same rules that you do, especially when it would not hurt them at all to refuse to cheat? Given the system only works when people follow the rules, in spirit and in writ.
Why wouldn't someone become especially angry at seeing cheating that only works because it assumes everybody else, the patsies, won't cheat? Obama prospers by turning other people's virtues into a weakness he then takes advantage of. He does this because nobody gets in his face and stops him from doing so. Even there, he is relying upon people who obey the rules of society.
The thing is, your virtue and loyalty to society, nation, and family isn't a weakness. It is a strength. It is a power that is necessary for Good to triumph, for Light to prevail, and for civilization to sustain itself. Letting cheaters win is following the rules of the cheaters. Instead of doing so, follow the rules you know are right. When you can make the cheaters follow your rules, half the fight is over.
Course, sometimes people refuse to listen and think they can intimidate the other people in line by making examples using brute strength. In this situations, I just personally break out my tools.
Danny Lemieux
This election more than any other has illustrated to me how absolutely threatened many (especially but not exclusively Liberal/Lefty) women are by attractive, self-are and successful conservative women. It truly is amazing to behold.
It is also interesting that most Conservative men that I know are absolutely supportive and major cheerleaders for these Conservative women. Interesting, because it is the Left stereotype that it is conservative men that are supposed to be sexist. Ha!
When I first started blogging, around 2005, I did a post in which I noted something that was a surprise to me: conservatives speak of the women in their lives with much greater love and respect than liberals do. I noticed in blog after blog, and radio show after radio show, that the male writers or speakers would go out of their way to praise the women in their lives and speak words of love. This was an entirely new concept to me, as I had been living entirely in liberal-land before 2005.
(That's not quite true: In all the time I've known him, DQ has never spoken of his wife with anything but the greatest love and respect. That's partly because DQ is wonderful and partly because DQ's wife is wonderful. But there may also be an aspect of conservativism in that open appreciation for a woman.)
>>The line is moving, yes. But only for people that Obama decides is right.>>
No doubt I've said this before, and no doubt I'll say it again…but imo, the two strongest and unique legs that support the American Ideal is inviolable right to private property and equal justice under the law. Kelo is undermining the first, Obama is undermining the second. His interpretation of equal justice is a justice that somehow renders equality in outcome, not equal justice that treats each and every person exactly the same. In other words, we determine the desired outcome and render "justice" accordingly.
Combine those two things – that is, private property can be taken in certain circumstances, and equal _outcome_ under the law, and the result is simply corruption. You know…like in the Banana Republics. Where the friends of dear leader get all the "outcome".
And the income, heh.
Mike Devx
Ymar, aren't you describing the difference between the Rule Of Law and the Rule Of Man? Obama has no respect for Law – witness his complete disregard for the Constitution. HE would rather decide all winners and losers. It's a King philosophy, a Lord philosophy. "I am King, I am Lord, and I get to decide your fate."
When Obama took over 2/3 of our auto industry in his socialist grab there, he distributed the proceeds to his buddies first… despite the fact that the law required shareholder compensation to be handled differently. I think there were lawsuits over that, but I've heard nothing about those lawsuits for months.
By the way, screw Government Motors (GM and Chrysler), and praise Ford for giving Obama the middle finger on that one! I will only buy Ford. (And how are each of those three companies doing? When you sell your soul and give up your dignity and freedom… what can you expect as the result? There's a reason socialism fails EVERYWHERE that it is tried.
Isn't it an interesting feeling to wake up every morning in America, knowing that your president views you as the Enemy… and he really, really means it?!? Reid doesn't give a damn about anything but power; Pelosi just wants to enact her far-left beliefs… but for Obama it is a deeply personal vendetta, and he intends to make me suffer, he intends to make YOU suffer. Back of the bus for you! He's sending us all the way back to the days of racial division and racial spoils, per his speech to Latinos.
Those Blue Dog conservative Democrats who survive this election on Tuesday… it's going to be very interesting to watch them during the Lame Duck session, when the far-left cronies will try to enact all the legislation they can while they still have the Power. The Blue Dogs have been used; they will be expected to fall in line again, but otherwise be ignored. Will they go along with the progam again? What happens during the Lame Duck is going to set up the political arguments going forward through 2011; most will center on Obamacare. Obama will fight and veto and will insult everyone who disagrees with him… but what if he loses control of his Party? If Reid loses to Sharron Angle, and a Republican takeover of the House means Pelosi is relegated back to being just another House member, it could happen. With outrageous behavior during the Lame Duck, the far-leftists could really seal their long-term fate. Ahem, it couldn't happen to a NICER bunch of bastards, I mean, people.
Things are going to get verrrrry interesting.

what's new
the pawn shop business had seemed to be phasing out a few years ago, it seems
to be thriving nowadays.
Some of them have been around for years and don't
even have an English name. But some seem to want the English-speaking business
as well - or at least those who don't read Chinese, and have an English name.
But then it is not hard to spot them: they always have that symbol that looks
like an upside down medal.
Unlike pawn shops in US where they are also the
thrift stores, Hong Kong pawn shops are generally just money lenders. Rumours
are that when the collateral is not collected by the prescribed period, it ends
up in flea markets (e.g. Apliu Street) and thrift stores.
One thing interesting
about pawn shops is that there is always a screen blocking the view of customers
inside. Another interesting thing about them is that their counters are always
very high, so high that one has to raise one's arms to pawn anything. I guess
you can calling it "fund-raising"! (Pictured
above: a pawn shop in Central district)

Ready to upgrade to super-fast wireless broadband? How Wireless Internet works:
Wireless broadband internet is super fast and very simple to use. And if you have a mobile broadband card or portable broadband unit, you have the flexibility and freedom to take your high speed internet connection anywhere you go.
Wireless internet service in Chesterfield MI
runs off of a fast 3G connection or a super-fast 4G connection and is available throughout the country. The connection is reliable and very secure, using the latest encryption. Most wireless internet plans are Plug & Play, meaning you simply plug in the equipment, turn it on and you are instantly online. This is really a great benefit to wireless internet, as they are not installation costs.
Factors to consider when selecting a broadband wireless provider
Be aware that many wireless internet providers have data caps or restrictions. This is particularly true if you decide to go with a mobile broadband provider where you purchase a dongle with your internet plan and plug it into your laptop. Also, you will want to see how far you are from your wireless internet provider's signal tower. You an usually check this online with a signal coverage map. Generally speaking, you should expect a weaker signal if you are on the fringe or outlying areas of the provider's coverage zone.
Wireless Internet Providers Chesterfield MI
There are two main broadband
wireless internet providers in Chesterfield MI
. They are CLEAR and BroadbandBLUE. Both run off of 3G and 4G signals. BroadbandBLUE has the advantage of being available in rural markets. Both broadband internet providers offer an unlimited usage policy (no data cap). Both providers also offer mobile internet systems that are portable. BroadbandBLUE has one plan with a monthly cost of $89 and an up-front activation fee. CLEAR has four different plans that vary in pricing, ranging from $35 per month to $100 per month. With this type of wireless internet connection, your internet connection is not limited to a single laptop device as it is with a mobile broadband connection.
Aside from these "dedicated wireless internet providers", there are also mobile broadband providers such as AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile. There are a wide variety of plans with these
wireless broadband providers in Chesterfield Michigan
, but they all offer plans that are add-ons to their cell phone plans whereby your internet connection comes from tethering your cell phone (or a dongle) to your laptop.

Fiji nights: Thursday morning 2am, seven hours to transmission of show four...
The second glorious sunny day in a row and now I know why we're in Fiji. Not that I've seen the sun as I sleep for a few hours during the day and run around here like a mad woman for the rest of the time.
It's my first chance to take stock and have a bit of a breather. I've been really happy with the shows so far and the feedback from London has been good. I just want the shows to be funny and enjoyable and I really think they are.
Classic moments so far included the world map game where Lady V couldn't identify America even though she lives there - so much for a private education. And who would have thought that Alicia Douvall would provide such comedy making beans on toast?
But nothing could beat the fun of cutting the aerobics VT for last night's show. For once I was popular with the (mostly male) editors. I am usually a real prude but if ever there was an excuse for putting tits on telly that was it. It's so good being in the gallery when people are laughing out loud at what they see.
The battle with Big Brother is a challenge when they have such a robust established audience but we are more than up to it. This is when being the other side of the world is so great, we just get on with it. We have a great show that is funny and full of real drama.
There's lots more surprises to come, starting with tomorrow's eviction when our Islanders realise they have to make the key decision. And Alicia's the gooseberry and could be for the chop. Oh no! And to think I used to work on Question Time. This is so much more fun to make and watch.

On a chilly autumn evening earlier this week, a few dozen people in west Denver each took two plastic bags of tulip and daffodil bulbs, keeping one bag to plant and the other to give away.
Approximately 1,000 tulip and daffodil bulbs, a dozen bulbs per bag, were donated to the West Colfax Association of Neighbors group known as WECAN. They came from an anonymous WECAN member eager to enliven the long-drab neighborhood radiating from Colfax Avenue between Federal and Sheridan boulevards.
Chad Reischl, WECAN co-president, encouraged people attending a recent WECAN meeting to plant some bulbs — and offer others to their neighbors.
Like the flower bulbs, whose dull brown husks mask the brilliant colors that will bloom next spring, the modest homes that characterize the WECAN district are in transition. Landscaping and flowers are beginning to replace tired-looking lawns circumscribed by chain link fences.
"I've already heard comments from people," said Jean McKay, a WECAN board member who moved here about two and a half years ago.
"People hope that we do this again next year. It's a good way to get to know your neighbors and beautify."

Eckersley mum on this subject
As it turns out, the candor that is one reason Dennis Eckersley is the finest television baseball analyst there is - nationally as well as locally - does have bounds.
When asked Wednesday about his thoughts regarding new Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine, Eckersley quickly offered an intentional pass.
"I don't even want to touch that,'' he said, laughing, before noting in language that might earn a PG-13 rating that Curt Schilling, ESPN's early-season leader in bloviation, seems to have that topic covered.
Surely Eckersley's true feelings will be revealed sooner rather than later during his duties on NESN's pregame and postgame studio shows. Like every baseball observer or aficionado of sideshows, chances are his opinion is already fully formed when it comes to Valentine.
Eckersley was asked the question during a conference call to promote TBS's baseball coverage this season, which begins Sunday with a Rays-Yankees matchup, the first of 26 regular-season broadcasts this season. Eckersley, who is entering his fourth year of moonlighting on TBS's regular-season baseball coverage, was joined on the call by fellow analyst John Smoltz.
Smoltz never played for Valentine but was at the center of a contentious Mets-Braves rivalry during Valentine's six-plus seasons as New York's manager. He said he's fascinated to see how it all plays out for Valentine in Boston, but that making judgments before the first regular-season pitch is thrown is a foolish exercise.
"That situation is going to play out in its own time frame,'' said Smoltz. "Whoever came in was going to change the environment for obvious reasons to address what happened last September. With Bobby and his personality, it's going to be more out front. Time will tell. Boston has a lot of pressure to win and has a lot of pieces to win. We will see if the execution will actually take place this year.''
To say Valentine can be polarizing would be to restate the obvious, but it's been particularly apparent this week. Wednesday's news that he'd agreed to do a paid weekly segment on Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay's ESPN 1050 radio show in New York drew outrage both real and contrived, the topic feeding the sports radio machine. While it may seem odd for a Red Sox manager to have a media gig lined up in rival territory, Valentine does have roots there, he is longtime friends with Kay (as Kay likes to mention), and with just a two-year deal to manage the Red Sox, it's a smart bit of self-preservation to remain on the media radar in New York.
The suggestion that it might be a distraction is shortsighted. Tweeted Schilling on Thursday, "Michael Kay radio show? Titanic now in open water at full speed!'', a notion that falls somewhere between silly and a plea for attention.
Valentine is an accomplished multitasker - managing a baseball team, running a restaurant, ensuring the safety of the good citizens of Stamford, Conn., building decks using Pythagorean theorem, ballroom dancing, and on and on. He may have even invented multitasking. That's the facetious way of saying he can handle this. To take 20 minutes out of his day to talk baseball, even in a rival's market, is no reason to yelp about his priorities.
His New York segment will be no more controversial than the one he will be doing weekly at WEEI. He'll be a guest on "The Big Show'' at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesdays - his debut this week was awkward and obtuse, but uneventful - and he'll be live in the studio when the Red Sox are home. When the Red Sox have a day game, he'll chat on "Dennis and Callahan'' instead.
Sure, there will be times when he says something - an opinion to us, a truth to him - that causes uproar. Probably a lot of times. But that's going to happen no matter whether he's on WEEI, Kay's show, or Stamford cable access, and if we know anything about him, we know this: He's always going to be talking to someone. Who cares where?
Be our guest
One of WEEI's consistent strengths across its various programs is the utilization of its deep roster of guests, from local athletes to prominent media members. Some, such as Tom Brady, are compensated for their time. Others are corralled by the programs' producers. There were two in particular over the past week that stood out, for different reasons.
SB Nation baseball writer Rob Neyer was a guest with Glenn Ordway and Michael Holley on the "The Big Show'' Tuesday, and while it was neither his first appearance nor a particularly dynamic segment, it was a pleasant reminder of how much things have changed. Neyer, a sabermetric forefather, is just the type of writer - online-oriented and progressive-thinking - who would have been derided with "mom's basement'' jokes just a few years ago. But three factors over the past three or four years - the rapid success of younger-trending rival 98.5 The Sports Hub, the mainstream popularity of statistical analysis in baseball, and the ascent of the station's own website - have led WEEI to accept what it once mocked, which counts as progress. I still doubt we'll ever be bumping into Ordway at MIT's Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, though.
Then there's the other interview of particular note - John Dennis and Gerry Callahan's conversation Monday with Austin Rivers, the NBA-bound former Duke guard and son of Celtics coach Doc Rivers. WEEI program director Jason Wolfe said in an e-mail that the original plan was to have Austin on with his dad, a weekly guest on the morning program, but that it didn't work out. That would have been fun to hear. But Austin's solo interview was revelatory - for a 19-year-old, he was articulate, remarkably engaging, and downright funny when he was breaking down how his dad would fare against him in a game of one-on-one. Turns out he's not just a chip off the ol' Doc as a player, but in personality as well.

Handwritten lyrics for "Love Will Tear Us Apart"
What a great find, a giant or a song...
Much as I appreciate the attempt with that cover version, may I be the first to say that its oily, saccharine vapidity betrays a complete misunderstanding of Joy Division, Manchester, and the 1980s Britain I grew up in. Apologies, but I can't help the way I feel. There are some things music should never do, and that band's just done it.
This sheet is on display at the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame right now.
In fact, this is a picture taken of the RNR HOF's display. If you look at the bottom hole-punch, there's a circle of white plastic on the left of it. That's the edge of a marker with the number 5 on it. (If I had a place to throw it, I have a picture of that display that I took this past weekend - that's why it caught my eye.)
Still a cool find, and maybe it's just a bad picture, but it made me wonder if someone cropped it and sand-blasted the photo to make it look older. (Though I'm assuming they just cropped it and sharpened it to draw out the words on the page.)
It's the opposite of Love Will Keep Us Together!
No Teardrop Rain Will Tear Us Apart.
I get your point... I dunno personally I think she had a good enough run at a monumental song.
Actually I was looking for an accordion cover version, but didn't find one I liked, and it was on the first page of results, and after one listen I thought "yeah, that'll do" , as you do... having just re-listened it is a bit less blinding than the original, but so what, its just a cover...
sounds like it could be a case for a rewrite of the old woodworking rule of thumb: "measure twice, cut once" - "listen twice, post once", and then I could have saved your poor ears the torment... must admit that if I had listened a 2nd time last evening I might not have...
I had a good friend who offed himself with LWTUA as the soundtrack , back when it came out, so its not like the original doesn't have a strong personal attachment. For many years I couldn't bear to hear it anymore....
And as for apologizing for the way that you feel, how fitting as that's what Ian Curtis did in nearly every song I guess. No apology needed or expected.
So what do you think about this, too perky maybe? http://youtu.be/7Mm6ycEz2A8 ,
Mebbe I'm just getting old(er) but there seems to be a surge in what I consider "pointless remakes". Hugely subjective I know, but does the world really need a minimalist "Gold Dust Woman"?

Hgh Bodybuilding Elgin IL
Recent scientific breakthroughs in natural anti-aging technology have now made possible what was once only thought of as science fiction. Researchers have discovered all natural substances that have been shown to help a person increase their production of Human Growth Hormone (HGH).
HGH is crucial to staying young and healthy. Unfortunately, as people age their bodies stop producing it. While artificial HGH supplementation is available it is highly expensive and comes with many serious side effects. That is why the scientific community is abuzz with this newest technology that lets your body produce its own HGH using all natural substances that don't come with the harmful side effects of direct HGH chemicals.

Renowned British neon artist Chris Bracey has collaborated with Vauxhall Motors to create the 'Cool Britannia Collection'; a series of new and original artworks in celebration of the Vauxhall Mokka. Each piece is a one of a kind.
Chris Bracey's artwork is revealed in a short film which offers an insight into the process and inspiration behind the designs.
Vauxhall Mokka is a compact SUV, combining attractive design with innovative technologies and exclusive functionalities. Taking inspiration from the car's design, Chris Bracey has chosen three words describing the car to include in his artworks – Power, Refined and Adventure. These words are highlighted in neon and incorporated into phrases taken from British popular culture:
"A classic lyric from one of the most influential British bands of all time – the Clash. Punk was the last time where British music was truly original. This lyric from the track White Riot is fired up with British working class spirit."
"This is a lyric taken from Dame Shirley Bassey's Big Spender, one of the signature songs by the legendary British export. She performed the song at Glastonbury and Prince Phillip's birthday. The song was released in 1967, during the British summer of love and has endured as a timeless classic, much like Dame Bassey herself."
"This is a line from Winnie the Pooh to Piglet in one of the stories by English author A.A Milne. There's something so enduring about this classic British bear but the line is also really romantic too."
Chris Bracey has been the 'Neon Man' for 40 years. He began his career by transforming the Soho area in the '60s, redefining the recognisable aesthetic of the area. Since then, he has created pieces for iconic films, from Tim Burton's Batman to Blade Runner and Eyes Wide Shut. He has also created pieces for artists including David La Chappelle and Martin Creed as well as window displays for Stella McCartney and Vivienne Westwood.
On 29 May, Chris' Cool Britannia artworks were auctioned for Kids Company, as part of their Spring Clean campaign, at a pop-up shop of one-off designer pieces and products by Lee Broom, Martin Brudnizki, Nina Campbell amongst others. The pieces raised £9,500 for the charity. Take a look at other works by Chris Bracey.

Congratualations! I bought mine at 9 mos (now the trick is just to not get pregnant...). I think it is easier to plan the rest of the wedding if you know what your look is for the day (as we all know that it will all revolve around us...right....?)
Crazy to get my dress 8 months before?

Definitely not crazy to have bought your dress 8 months before the wedding. The more important question is, why haven't you posted any pictures for us? Or did I miss them?
Posted 29 July 2008 - 01:36 PM
Definitely not too early! When I went they said you should get your dress 9-6 months before your wedding. And no later than 6 so you have time to do all your fittings, bridal portrait and make all the little adjustments. It's way better to get it early than late. I ordered mine last month, am getting it in November, but don't wed until May 2009. So no worries. Congrats on finding the dress! I'm sure its stunning.
Posted 29 July 2008 - 02:01 PM
That's not too early AT ALL. Infact, in all the wedding planning things I've read, one of the first things they tell you to do (about a year out) is get your dress. 8 months will be here before you know it. It's funny but EVERY SINGLE PERSON including myself that I've talked to, ended up wearing the first dress they fell in love with. Mine was one of the 1st ones I tried on, and although I loved it, I thought I better keep looking. After 2 more trips, I went back and bought the dress of my dreams
Posted 29 July 2008 - 02:12 PM
Not too early at all!! if you love it and know it is for you then dont let it go! Glad you found a wonderful gown!
Posted 29 July 2008 - 02:15 PM
No, that's awesome! But what you need to do is STOP looking at dresses now or you will second guess your decision! Move on to planning other stuff and mark this one off your list!
Posted 29 July 2008 - 02:57 PM
I found my dress a YEAR before my wedding and ordered it 7 months before. So no, it's not too early.
When you fall in love with the dress of your dreams, that's it!

Was really scared sizing wasn't going to fit since its number based. I'm usually an 8 or 10 and ordered a 10 because sleeves usually always end up to short for me. The 10 is perfect fit. I'venever had a fitted hoodie like this. It's so comfortable and worth the buy.

|12.10.2010 - Commodity boom is its own worst enemy
|From WSJ: Commodity prices are on the move again. Will the result be the same as when they soared, back in 2008? For those who don't remember, commodity prices, but especially oil took off. Crude prices tacked on around $50 between the start of 2008 and their peak in July at over $145 a barrel. OK, so this time oil prices are being relatively well behaved, only gaining around $10 a barrel to some $85 over the past couple of months. But the real momentum right now is in food prices..............................................Full Article: Source

This is the story of how my precious Ezra came into the world. It is not graphic and gory; just simply his story.
It all started at 37 weeks. That's when I went into false labor and had to do the preggo walk of shame. For the next two weeks I experienced unimaginable pregnant pains and emotions. I knew my baby was going to be big because each week I was measuring one to two weeks ahead of schedule. I had a terrible pinched nerve in my back on the right side which was causing unbelievable swelling in my right leg and foot. I looked like the hunch back of notre dame walking around...it was ridiculous. I was also having silly hormone breakdowns all the time. I could cry at any commercial on tv and laugh at some of the most ridiculous jokes my family would tell me.
But through all of these difficult days I knew that eventually it would end and my little boy would be in my arms.
On Tuesday, June 12 I had a doctor's appointment with a different doctor. I had decided I was going to plead my case with her about moving my induction date up 5 days. I had decided I would get down on my knees if I had to and beg...I was that desperate for relief.
Once she saw me she said, "Oh honey...you do not need to be pregnant anymore." And she got on her phone and moved my date up to the 15th instead of the 20th. I was 4 cm dilated at this point.
To say that I was overcome with joy is an understatement. I almost cried right there on the table.
This gave me a whole new sense of purpose. I knew I could get through 3 more days of pain.
Still in my heart I prayed that God would allow me to go into labor on my own (something I had never experienced).
But alas, that was not to be.
On Friday morning at 7am, Tim and I headed into the delivery room. We were so excited! What was even cooler was the fact that it was the same delivery room that Lilly and Graham were born in. We knew that we were going to have fun reminiscing their deliveries together.
At 8am my doctor came in and said he was going to break my water to see if that would kick-start my labor. He didn't want to use pitossin on me if he didn't have to.
So my water broke...and still nothing.
After about an hour he came back in and said I was going to need the pitossin drip.
So they started me on that about 9:00.
This is when it got a little scary.
The doctor watched Ezra's heart rate for a while and then said he was not pleased with the rythym. Basically there were not enough squiggly lines for him to be comfortable. He told me if it did not improve I would have to have a c-section.
This really scared me. So we started calling and texting people to pray for squiggly lines.
Having been on the pitossin for a bit, I began to progress very quickly. This was just like my other two deliveries . Within a half hour I was almost ripping the rails off the bed. My nurse came in and said, "Brittney...I think it's time for your epidural."
I couldn't see straight at this point so Tim answered for me...YES!
Luckily the anesthesiologist was right outside my door and came in to perform his magic.
***side note*** I'm all for going natural if you can...but God bless the man (or woman) who came up with the idea of an epidural...MIRACLE DRUG!!!****
So after the epidural was in place I began to rest very comfortably.
And God began to work on Ezra's heart.
We started seeing squiggly lines again! It was such an answer to prayer.
The nurse said it looked like we were in the clear and that I should get some rest.
After a few quick hours it was time to push.
Now I have been a very blessed woman in my previous deliveries when it comes to pushing. I pushed for 20 minutes with Lilly and 30 with Graham. So I just knew I could do it!
I started pushing around 1:30. The doctor said that Ezra was sunny-side-up and that was going to make things more difficult. So he said he would try and turn him while I pushed. This continued for quite sometime. Finally he said the best he could do was sideways. I continued pushing and pushing with all my might. Thankfully Ezra's heart was handling everything just fine, but I was wearing out quickly.
Tim was amazing. He had a system of cheering, ice chips, oxygen...over and over. Even the doctor said he was impressed with my support system.
Finally after 1 whole hour of pushing, Ezra made his grand sideways entrance into the world! As soon as he was out the nurse said, "no wonder he wouldn't come out...he's huge for your little body!" And boy was she right! He came into this world a whopping 8lbs 5oz...almost a whole pound bigger than his brother and sister! I laughed when I saw him because I couldn't believe my eyes either!
He was a little blue when he came out because he didn't scream. The doctor thinks his position is the reason for the fainter heartbeat. He was having a harder time getting oxygen with the way he was situated inside me.
There are no words to describe how relieved I was that he made it into the world safe and sound. I am so blessed to have my new little guy in my arms now, and to have him here healthy. I love him so much and I cannot wait to see what God has in store for him.

The McLaren 657LT may have already sold out, but fear not: The supercar manufacturer just released the McLaren 675LT Spider.
While not altogether surprising, the car is a beautiful creation. They've simply taken the extreme Super Series car and lopped the top off for this roof-less masterpiece. Because it's a convertible, the dry weight increases from 90 pounds to 2800—although, for a car with 666 horsepower, that's still pretty incredible.
None of that comes cheap, of course. Pricing starts at $372,600, and only 500 will be available worldwide.
